Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are touting their plans to boost the economy, as Harris also tries to keep the focus on abortion rights, an issue that Democrats see as a winning one with 41 days to go until Election Day.
DONALD TRUMP, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate: Hello, Savannah, and hello, Georgia.
We love Georgia.
GEOFF BENNETT: Campaigning in Savannah, Georgia, former President Donald Trump today sought to outline his economic plan.
DONALD TRUMP: This new American industrialism will create millions and millions of jobs, massively raise wages for American workers and make the United States into a manufacturing powerhouse.
GEOFF BENNETT: Mr. Trump unveiling a proposal he says is aimed at offering new incentives to lure foreign companies to the U.S., promising lower taxes, energy costs, and fewer regulations.
DONALD TRUMP: With a vision I'm outlining today, not only will we stop our businesses from leaving for foreign lands, but under my leadership, we're going to take other countries' jobs.
Did you ever hear that expression before?
Have you ever heard that we're going to take other countries' jobs?
It's never been stated before.
GEOFF BENNETT: A new Quinnipiac poll out today shows Mr. Trump leading Vice President Kamala Harris 52 to 45 percent with likely voters when it comes to handling the economy.
But several other recent national polls show Harris is narrowing that trust gap with her plan focused on lowering costs for middle-class families.
While campaigning in Wisconsin this week, she spoke to Wisconsin Public Radio about her affordable housing plan.
KAMALA HARRIS, Vice President of the United States (D) and U.S. Presidential Candidate: I understand and have as part of my lived experience a lifetime practically of being a renter and also what it means for families to aspire to own a home.
GEOFF BENNETT: The vice president outlining her proposal that she says would incentivize developers to build three million new homes while providing $25,000 in down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers.
She also discussed reproductive rights, saying she supports ending the Senate filibuster to restore a Roe v. Wade to protect abortion rights nationally.
KAMALA HARRIS: We should eliminate the filibuster for Roe to actually put back in law the protections for reproductive freedom.
GEOFF BENNETT: Later this week, Vice President Harris will head to the U.S.-Mexico border for the first time since becoming the Democratic nominee.
It's part of her swing through the Sun Belt states, Arizona and Nevada, where immigration remains a top issue.
