US Election 2024: It's the economy, stupid: The issues return to the US election campaign

Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, plans to lower the costs of food, housing and healthcare as well as increase child allowances. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, is calling for further tax cuts, the abolition of taxes on tips and the introduction of import tariffs.

The high inflation under President Biden is mainly due to the Corona pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. Harris wants to keep Biden's promise not to raise taxes on incomes up to $400,000.

Her campaign team will be particularly attentive to what resonates well with voters in the key states.
