Kamala Harris to use NC visit to focus on economic agenda, inflation

Donald Trump is now trailing behind Kamala Harris in North Carolina and several other key swing states in the race for president, according to a new poll released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report.

It's the first major poll of this election cycle that shows the Republican former president trailing his Democratic challenger in North Carolina. It was released the same day Trump gave a speech in Asheville, and just days after his campaign bought its first television ads in North Carolina — signs that the Trump campaign now sees North Carolina as being in play.

Trump was routinely favored over President Joe Biden in polls before Biden dropped out of the race on July 21. Multiple polls this spring and summer showed Trump up by nearly double digits over Biden in North Carolina. That was a stark contrast to 2020, when Trump won the state by just 1.5% of the vote.

But the Cook Political Report poll on Wednesday found Harris leading Trump by 2 percentage points — a 10-point swing in favor of Democrats from May, when its poll that month found Trump leading Biden by 8 points. #Politics #News #Election

I'm sure it's the same plan they've been using for the past three and a half years. BIDENOMICS is the same no matter who's at the podium.

She is in way over her head and we need to close out this administration ASAP

[BrianHassett-ihjp]

Visited North Carolina 16 times. Did not visit the real southern border even ONCE!

[letsgobrandoniagree]

She’s had 4 years and they didn’t do anything.

[stevegrubbs]

Food would not cost as much if they weren’t stopping the US from drilling for oil and then gas costs would go down and so would groceries prices and so much more

[billw]

The last time she was asked what her plan was to fix inflation she gave an 11 year old's definition of what inflation is. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Considering her party did this to us.

The Harris economic plan is price caps and universal basic income.
If you think inflation at 20% is bad, wait until these policies are inacted. We will see inflation double to 40% or more.

[NiccaGeorge]

Oh the things shes responsible for she will fix if and only if shes elected? That seems pretty conditional and like we are hostages.

[clarkblount]

After three and a half years she is able to focus? Lol clowns world journalism.

[shootscoot]

So why haven't these clowns done anything about inflation in the last four years????

[nappynapps]

She's flirting with Soviet style price controls. She would be a disaster as president.

[RacecarSpelledBackwards]

If you want to see how her economic plan works, look no further than Venezuela.

[Skkra]

Someone should tell her that she has been in the second most powerful leadership position on the planet for the last 3.5 years now. If she has all these solutions, she could have implemented them any time.

[jayderimson]

It holds no value unless it is documented! Publish it on your website. Provide us with actual written policies. We’re not easily misled.

[canoebelue]

Wasn't she VP while groceries and many other things doubled in price?

[KennethHorn-jcmf]

A vote for Kamala is a vote for socialism 😢😢😢
