A populist bidding war has erupted on the 2024 campaign trail, producing an unusual convergence of policy proposals between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump.
In an election both sides are treating as existential, ruthless politics are the name of the game. In some cases, that means skimping on details or abandoning sound economics.
In her first major policy address, Harris unveiled an economic agenda that includes a $6,000 child tax credit for families during the first year of a newborn's life.
Within hours, a Trump campaign official told Semafor that Trump would "consider a significant expansion of the child tax credit," citing Sen. JD Vance's (R-Ohio) recent advocacy for a $5,000 credit.Restoring the pandemic era's enhanced child tax credit has long been a priority for Democrats. But Vance's proposal suddenly has some Trump allies claiming policy theft.
Here are the top political news stories for today.
That’s not agreement. That’s plagiarism. Agreement would be both candidates meeting to collaborate on proposals to share.
Kamala has always been against fracking and against strong border security, until about 5 minutes ago. This is just empty election rhetoric.
