Candidate Donald Trump announces economic priorities

In a 75-minute speech to supporters, former President Trump laid out a series of policy ideas, making a broader commitment to tackling inflation, boosting energy production and raising the standard of living for Americans. He vowed to reverse President Joe Biden’s restrictions on fossil fuel production, use whatever tools are necessary to cool inflation in his first year in office, and repeal all taxes on Social Security benefits. He asserted that economic growth would be enough to help the United States pay off its debt, while pledging to cut energy prices by 50-70% in 12-18 months. If he wins the election, the Republican candidate vowed to increase permitting for drilling and exploration on federal land, ease pipeline permitting processes and other measures to lower consumer prices. In addition to the economic issue, Mr. Trump also spent most of his time highlighting the differences with the Democratic Party related to familiar issues such as the US-Mexico border. He also did not forget to attack his opponent Kamila Harris - the Democratic candidate on a number of issues such as supporting the ban on the use of fracking technology (hydraulic fracking) to exploit shale oil and gas. For her part, Ms. Kamila Harris is expected to travel to North Carolina on August 16 and give a speech on economic policy in the city of Raleigh. A member of her campaign team said Ms. Harris will outline a plan to reduce costs for middle-class families and a solution to companies raising prices. In the next 3 weeks, Ms. Harris's campaign team is expected to spend 90 million USD to improve the image of the Democratic Party in the eyes of voters. This is the largest investment ever in her campaign when there are only more than 2 months left until the election.

Polls show that Vice President Harris has been closing the gap with Mr. Trump since she became the Democratic nominee. According to a new survey conducted by the Associated Press - Center for Public Affairs Research (NORC), Americans tend to trust candidate Trump more than Ms. Harris in solving economic problems. However, this difference is not large when Mr. Trump received 45% support, while Ms. Harris's figure is 38%. Meanwhile, polling data on the Real Clear Politics website also shows Ms. Harris is closely following Mr. Trump in the state of North Carolina. This is a big difference compared to a month ago, when Mr. Joe Biden was the Democratic nominee. At that time, the Republican Party seemed to ignore this state and turned its attention to traditional Democratic states such as Minnesota and Virginia.
