With less than 40 days until Election Day, potential October Surprises looming on the horizon, and Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump essentially tied in the polls, the candidates are doing everything in their power to try to move the needle in their favor. Will their policies on manufacturing be the thing to make it happen?
In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Wershkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman break down Vice President Harris’s latest pillar to her “opportunity economy” plan that focuses on manufacturing. How does it compare to former President Trump’s policy? Wershkul says while both candidates have the same end goal, they go about them in "pretty different means."
For Harris, her plan according to Wershkul is, "a lot of government involvement in specific sectors that she calls ‘sectors for the future’." These could include areas such as biomanufacturing, aerospace, and quantum computing. Though the Harris campaign has yet to outline the extent of their involvement, Werkshul says, "if you work in those sectors or invest in those sectors, a President Harris would have a keen interest."
