As the famous Louisiana Democratic political strategist James Carville says, "It's the economy, stupid." That's the key focus for both campaigns in the race's final stretch.
Saturday, U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm launched a canvassing drive at the Harris Sparks field office. Last week, we had the opportunity to speak with Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump.
"Reduce the costs of purchasing a home, reduce the costs of healthcare, and make sure parents are taken care of in healthcare. To make sure there is no price gouging at the stores," said U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm states that Donald Trump's economic plan, particularly the high tariffs on products from China, will not benefit the American economy overall.
"Trump plans to raise taxes on people basically with tariffs across the board he's putting on people. Four thousand dollar increase to families on an annual basis. That's ridiculous. Every economist who has looked at his plan says it will raise taxes on people and explode the deficit. And it will put the country back into a recession," said Granholm.
"There's not a single person listening to you and I right now that doesn't know in their gut that we're not doing well as a country. We're not. I mean, you have more people working multiple jobs than ever before," said American businessman and son of former President Donald Trump, Eric Trump.
We spoke to Eric Trump, the son of former President Donald Trump. He claims that Trump's economic plan will enhance the daily lives of the hundreds of thousands of Nevadans employed in the service industry.
"No tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime," said Eric Trump.
Eric Trump says that the idea of no tax on tips came from a server at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, who spoke to Donald Trump about the taxes on her tips and those of her colleagues.
Kamala Harris adopted the idea of eliminating taxes on tips shortly after Trump introduced it this election cycle. Her plan would also involve raising the federal minimum wage to a more livable standard.
