On the Fox News website, they have a running clock for how long it has been since Kamala Harris has taken questions from the press. It stops in 39 days. Not available for an interview Tonight, she and vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz sit down with CNN’s reporters in an interview that will be recorded in prime time in the USA. Ever since she was announced as the Democrats’ presidential candidate, she has garnered a lot of criticism for not accepting questions from the press or giving interviews. It is especially Donald Trump and his vice-presidential candidate JD Vance who have borne much of this criticism.

A recent Wall Street Journal poll shows that Harris has 48 percent support, while Trump has 47 percent. With a margin of error of 2.5 percent, it is almost impossible to say who is leading the election campaign. There is therefore great excitement about how Harris will perform tonight. Especially when it comes to her solutions to the economic issues and animal times many Americans are experiencing. This is one of the political themes that many believe will decide the election. It is also a topic on which Trump has the most credibility among American voters. Harris has received criticism for only giving prepared speeches and not being interviewed. Photo: ANDREW HARNIK / AFP Harris, for his part, has “inherited” many Americans’ negative perception of President Joe Biden’s economic policy. They have both been accused of not understanding the problems of ordinary people. It seems that she has taken over. Wants to use public funds Throughout the election campaign so far, she has talked warmly about using large public sums to increase competition in the grocery industry and prevent the large concentration of power in the market. She has also advocated for the introduction of a federal law prohibiting overcharging. The idea is to prevent certain shops from taking advantage of crises to raise prices unnecessarily. All this, Harris hopes, will help to prevent further increases in food prices, and perhaps even lower the price of important basic goods. Facts about Kamala Harris Born October 20, 1964 in Oakland, California. Has Indian mother and Jamaican father. The mother was a cancer researcher, the father a professor of economics. Married to lawyer Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish. Called “Momala” by her two stepchildren, Cole and Ella. Graduated in law from Howard University in Washington DC and the University of California. Became state attorney in San Francisco in 2004. Became the first black woman elected attorney general in California in 2010, a position she held until 2017 when she became a senator for the Democrats. Announced in January 2019 that she would seek to become the party’s presidential candidate, but withdrew in December and gave her support to Joe Biden. As a senator, among other things, he worked for health reform, stricter gun laws and progressive tax reform. Was mentioned as a possible Minister of Justice under President Barack Obama, as well as a possible judge on the US Supreme Court. Became the first woman, the first of African American background and the first of Indian background to be Vice President of the United States. Another issue that is important to many Americans is the ability to buy a place to live. Here, Harris has previously mentioned that she wants to spend a lot of government funds on building 3 million new homes for Americans. She has also spoken warmly of a one-off financial support package for first-time buyers of $25,000. Which will be used to pay off the mortgage. Throughout his election campaign, Harris has so far argued for a policy that is a mixture of government intervention and aid to raise the purchasing power of the American middle class. An example of this is her family policy, where she entices families with children with tax relief and will give newborns a lump sum of 6,000 dollars. In the next week, Harris will also announce a tax package for small, start-up businesses. She said that during an election campaign event in Savannah on Thursday. How will it be financed? But the big question is how all this and more will be financed. The New York Times has calculated that what she has proposed so far will raise the US national debt by $1.7 trillion over the next decade. So an awful lot of money. Here, Harris has been rather vague, but has said that she wants to keep Biden’s tax pressure on large companies and the super-rich. Published 29/08/2024, at 23.02
