Donald Trump delivered a speech in North Carolina to attack Vice President Kamala Harris and the Biden administration's economic policies. Trump claimed that Americans are "paying the price" for Harris' "liberal extremism" through high gas prices, grocery costs, and mortgage bills. However, Trump frequently veered off-script to make personal attacks against Harris, questioning her intelligence and criticizing her laugh. He proposed cutting energy costs by half in 18 months and eliminating taxes on tips and Social Security income if elected. Polls show Harris has gained ground against Trump since becoming the Democratic nominee, though Trump still leads on economic issues.
