Republican nominee Donald Trump cast doubt on the economy as the most important election issue, one in which he has a significant voter trust advantage over his rival, Kamala Harris, who is planning to make a speech about consumer prices later this week.
Former US President Donald Trump --
The Trump campaign’s mixed attempts to focus on the economy come as voters have repeatedly and consistently told pollsters that it is the top issue in determining who they’ll vote for. It’s also a winning issue for the former president: Trump leads Harris by an eight-percentage-point margin on whom voters trust more on the economy, according to a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll of seven swing states.
He pledged to cut energy costs in half in the first 12 to 18 months of a new term by eliminating regulation and approving more domestic energy production, which has reached record highs under U.S. President Joe Biden. Trump called a key ally, Scott Bessent, the founder of Key Square Group LP who is among those under discussion for a cabinet role in a second Trump term, onto the stage in Asheville, introducing him as “one of the most brilliant men on Wall Street.” Bessent is a major campaign donor who has praised Trump’s policies for boosting stock market performance.
