Vice President Kamala Harris stumbled while trying to defend her economic plan on NBC News on Tuesday, especially as polls show she still supports former President Donald Trump on the issue. However, he questioned why host Harry Jackson did not resonate with voters.
Voters consistently cite the economy, inflation and immigration as their top concerns heading into the polls, with 54% trusting Trump on these issues and Harris, according to an October Gallup poll. 45% of respondents. During the interview, Jackson pressed Harris on voters' disapproval of the current economy, prompting the vice president to try to distinguish between her plans and the current administration's plans.
Even as Harris listed platform ideas for housing, business price gouging and the child tax credit, Jackson questioned why the platform didn't resonate with voters, and questioned why the vice president's platform didn't resonate with voters. I pushed back the answer.
“So why do you think it won't gain traction with voters?” Jackson asked. “Former President Trump guides you on this issue because the numbers say it’s the other way around.
“Oh, but I think so,” Harris began. “Well, that’s why when we go out, we go out to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and even Michigan,” Harris said at the same time as Jackson. “Sorry, I actually arrived late this morning.

“But I went to three states yesterday, so I'm going to keep traveling. I have to get out the vote, and that means not only sharing my plans with people, but Anna It also means providing them with an objective list of the contrasts between me and Donald Trump,” Harris continued. “My plan is focused on working people, the middle class, and what we must do to strengthen the ability of hardworking people to realize their dreams and aspirations.”
“His plan is to give billionaires and big corporations tax cuts, massive tax cuts. Economists estimate that his so-called economic plan will worsen inflation and lead to a recession by the middle of next year. So there's a big difference between him and me,” Harris concluded.
In a May poll, about two months before President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 campaign on July 21, an estimated 49% of voters believed the president's leadership was having a negative impact on the economy. Harris has reportedly tried to distance herself from Biden since entering the race, but the vice president has struggled to distance herself from the current president.
In an Oct. 8 interview with ABC's “The View,” when asked if she would change anything about the past four years of the Biden administration, Harris said, “I can't think of anything,” leading political commentators to respond. faced a huge backlash. She was pressed further on the issue during an interview with FOX News' Bret Baier, when asked how her presidency would move the United States “forward,” even though she is currently president. I groped for an answer.
