In a rally in New Hampshire, Vice President Harris outlines her “Opportunity Economy” plan to support small businesses. She discusses increasing tax deductions for new businesses, providing low and no-interest loans, setting up access to venture capital and innovation hubs, and lowering the capital gains tax rate for high earners. Harris emphasizes simplified tax paperwork to make it easier for small businesses to operate. After the rally, she visits a local pretzel factory owned by a mother-daughter team, where most employees are disabled. Harris engages with the owners and is impressed by their hard work, receiving a bag of pretzels as a gift.
Days later, in Michigan, Harris reflects on her visit to the pretzel factory as an example of the inspiring individuals she meets across the country. She emphasizes the importance of sharing these stories to motivate others. Harris is in the midst of a photo shoot with Oprah at the Studio Center, where they are meeting with dignitaries and supporters before a show. She interacts with supporters, emphasizing the importance of small businesses in local economies and the cultural fabric of communities. The broadcast with Oprah will be streamed live across the country, highlighting the critical role of Michigan in the upcoming election. Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2016, and Harris needs to secure key swing states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to win the Electoral College.
Following a debate with Trump, where she strategically engaged with the former president, Harris has been praised for her performance. She faced off against Trump in a heated exchange, offering bait that he quickly took. Despite his aggressive tactics, Harris was able to hold her ground and make strategic moves throughout the debate. This contrasted with the more civil vice presidential debate between Walz and JD Vance, which was seen as a draw or better behaved. Harris’s ability to navigate challenging situations and effectively communicate her policies has been a highlight of her campaign, positioning her as a strong candidate in the upcoming election. Her focus on supporting small businesses and inspiring individuals across the country showcases her commitment to economic growth and community development.
