Election 2024 updates: Harris and Trump gear up for 2-month sprint to finish line.
New polls show a tight race between Vice
President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump just months from Nov. 5. Neither candidate is on the trail today.
1) President Joe Biden talked up his administration's efforts to spur private investment in U.S. manufacturing this afternoon. Vice President Kamala Harris has no public events.
2( Former President Donald Trump has several campaign stops planned for later this week, including in New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
3) Second gentleman Doug Emhoff participates this evening in a Jewish Voters for Harris-Walz call.
Harris is announcing a new policy plan that her campaign said would aim to boost small business applications by expanding tax deductions for startup expenses tenfold from $5,000 to $50,000, according to a Harris campaign official, who requested anonymity to reveal details of a still-unreleased proposal. She’ll also seek to cut red tape “like wasting time and money on filing taxes or needing excessive occupational licenses across state lines to expand,” said the official.
Harris’ goal is to boost small business applications to 25 million in her first term, up from 19 million so far during the Biden administration, according to government statistics from mid-August. The Harris official said it’s “part of a concentrated strategy to take Harris’ economic agenda directly to voters on the airwaves, and to contrast it with Trump’s plans to give billionaires and big corporations a tax cut.”
The Trump campaign panned Harris' proposal.
“It’s laughable that Kamala Haris is trying to pitch herself as good for the economy when she has been a fierce advocate for Bidenomics, which is crushing small business owners,” Karoline Leavitt, a Trump campaign spokesperson, told NBC News.
“She could fix these problems right now as vice president, but she hasn’t.”

Findings suggest an Electoral College landscape where Pennsylvania & Georgia are central to each candidate’s path to the White House.
President Joe Biden carried all six of these states in 2020, winning Georgia by just under 12,000 votes and Arizona by a little over 10,000 votes. Were Harris to hold Biden’s 2020 wins outside of these six states & carry Wisconsin and Michigan, a win in Pennsylvania plus a single electoral vote from anywhere else would give her presidency.
Should Trump hold North Carolina – a state he carried in 2020 & is widely considered a battleground in this year’s contest – wins in Georgia and Pennsylvania would put him over the top regardless of what happens in Wisconsin, Michigan or Nevada.
In that scenario, even Arizona, where he currently holds a narrow lead, would not be necessary for Trump to win another term as president.

The candidates will debate next week in what will be their first meeting ever. The nation’s premier swing state, Pennsylvania, begins in-person absentee voting the week after. By end of month, early voting will be underway in at least 4-states with a dozen more to follow by mid-October.
The two presidential nominees are using the week before their debate to sharpen their economic messages about who could do more for the middle class. Vice President Kamala Harris discussed her policy plans on Wednesday in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, while Donald Trump will address the Economic Club of New York on Thursday.
Harris used the New Hampshire campaign stop to propose an expansion of tax incentives for small businesses, a pro-entrepreneur plan that may soften her previous calls for wealthy Americans and large corporations to pay higher taxes. Trump, meanwhile, is betting that Americans crave trillions of dollars in tax cuts — and that growth will be so fantastic that it’s not worth worrying about budget deficits.
