Trump vs. Harris on the Economy
As the 2024 presidential race enters the homestretch, former President Donald J. Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are putting economic policy at the center of their pitches to voters.
Jim Tankersley, who covers economic policy for The New York Times, evaluates both of their plans.
Guest: Jim Tankersley, an economic policy reporter for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- Analysis: Both candidates embrace expansions of government power to steer economic outcomes — but in vastly different areas.
- Analysis: Harris’s price-gouging ban plan does not appear to amount to government price controls. It also might not bring down grocery bills anytime soon.
