Former President Donald Trump launched a scathing attack on Vice President Kamala Harris, questioning her ability to address the economic crisis during a rally in Asheville, North Carolina. Trump claimed that Harris's forthcoming economic proposal would only exacerbate the current economic challenges.
Trump alleged that Harris might be planning to copy his economic plan, citing her support for eliminating taxes on tips for service workers, a policy he introduced in June. He insinuated that Harris's plan would likely mirror his own, dismissing it as a 'fake economic plan.'
Furthermore, Trump criticized Harris for failing to address inflation and reduce prices while serving as vice president. He questioned why Harris had not taken action on these issues earlier, despite declaring that tackling inflation would be a top priority on her first day in office.
Trump's remarks come ahead of the anticipated unveiling of Harris's economic proposal later this week. The former president's comments reflect ongoing political tensions and differing approaches to economic policy between the two leaders.
It remains to be seen how Vice President Harris will respond to these criticisms and how her economic plan will be received by the public and policymakers.
