The “best plan”

“We now have an economy that is thriving by all macroeconomic indicators,” he highlighted the achievements of President Joe Biden’s administration and promised to continue with low unemployment figures.
He highlighted his plan to “tackling” high food prices, investing in small businesses, helping the middle classand restore the tax credit for families with children under the age of one.
Harris was asked how she would face the $3 trillion deficit facing the countryto which she responded that she would raise taxes on high-income earners and hoped that congressional leaders would be willing to support her.

Response to wars
The Democrat answered questions about the Conflict between Israel and Gazawhile this Monday marks the first anniversary of the Hamas attack, and assured that it is necessary to end this war. He, however, avoided answering several questions about whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is “ignoring” the United States.
He warned that he would not meet bilaterally with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, to negotiate a solution to end the war in Ukraine. “Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine,” he said.
He also moved to dig deeper into immigration and the Biden administration’s response to containing the high number of irregular immigrants entering. “It’s a long-standing problem. And the solutions are within reach. And since day one, we have literally been providing solutions,” he said.
