Election 2024 Latest: Trump and Harris focus on tax policy ahead of next week’s debate

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate for the first time next Tuesday as the presidential candidates fight to sway voters on the biggest stage in U.S. politics. The meeting comes just 75 days after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance triggered a political earthquake that ultimately forced him from the race.

Ahead of that, Trump and Harris are discussing tax policy plans with voters. Harris touted a small business tax plan during a campaign visit to New Hampshire on Wednesday, while Trump will address the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.

With just 61 days until the November election, early voting will be underway in at least four states by the end of September and a dozen more to follow by mid-October.

Key questions ahead of first Trump-Harris presidential debate

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will debate for the first — and perhaps, last — time on Tuesday night as the presidential candidates fight to sway voters on the biggest stage in U.S. politics.

The meeting comes just 75 days after President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance triggered a political earthquake that ultimately forced him from the race. Few expect such a transformative result this time, but Trump is on a mission to end Harris’ “honeymoon” as polls suggest the Democratic vice president is now even — or slightly ahead — of the Republican former president in some swing states.
