PNN – Politico wrote: US Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to win over former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump by focusing on economic issues including affordable housing and curbing inflation.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, this American media added: Harris’ “Everyday” ad, which was first shared with Politico, features a series of Harris proposals aimed at providing affordable housing, fighting corporations for price hikes and expanding household tax credits.
In presenting her economic plans, Harris has said that “prices remain high,” and that she will “focus on creating opportunities for the middle class and strengthening their economic security, stability and dignity.”
Harris’ new ad is part of a $150 million campaign to target battleground states at last week’s Democratic convention, and is the second ad in as many days focused on cutting prices and taxes.

In her previous 30-second ad clip, the Democratic candidate mentioned strengthening the status of the middle class, but the new ad outlines Harris’ main focus and criticizes Trump for aligning herself with “billionaires and big business.”
According to Politico, the ad opens a new window for Harris’ campaign to tap into voters’ top priorities, while trying to address the deficit caused by Trump’s superiority in winning voter confidence on economic issues.
Polls show Trump ahead of Harris because of American voters’ trust in the Republican candidate on economic performance. Although Harris is behind Trump in this regard, their difference is smaller than that of US President Joe Biden in the era when he had not yet given up his candidacy.
Biden faced criticism due to rising prices and the US economy being on the brink of recession.
Since the beginning of her campaign, Harris has tried to quickly distance herself from Biden’s economic legacy, although she has supported some of Biden’s economic programs.
Harris’s strategy has been criticized by economists and some Democrats, who have questioned the feasibility of her plans to target large companies in order to control prices.
