Cooper with just two months to go before election day. The polls show a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and formeR President Donald Trump. With many voters still undecided. Were going to take the next two hours to examine five kids issues for both campaigns, the economy, reproductive rights immigration, foreign affairs, and the state of democracy. First, cnns Audie Cornish takes a look at Harriss Record on these policies during her time as a prosecutor, a senator, and as Vice President , she begins with the number one issue for most american voters, the economy one day afteR President Joe Biden announced his decision to drop out of the race and endorsed his Vice President didnt Kamala Harris addressed a Campaign Staff at the wilmington, Delaware Headquarters Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency in her first interview as candidate she doubled down on that commitment. If you Are Elected, what would you do on Day One in the White House . First and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class and when harris gave her first policy speech, that too was centered on the economy as president i will be laserfocused on creating opportunities for the middleclass that advanced their economic security stability, and dignity. Biden campaign was focused oN Economic data that showed overall growth the idea was that voters jujust werent getting g the messagage. The has Version N of the camampaign too didifferent tack, emphasizing cost like health care. Ill take on the issue of the cost of health care, housing, provide firsttime Home Buyers with 25,000 To Help the down payment on a new home . And in raising a family, 6,000 in Tax Relief to families during the first year of a Childs Life republicans hammered her on the costs of her proposals so absolute socialism. All of these ideas are very inflationary. Even the nonpartisan Committee For A Responsible Federal Budget said the plan could increase the federal deficit by one 1. 7 trillion over a decade. One thing she did not say this, how any of this would be paid for . These are some expensive policies. But harris is following the lead of progressive lawmakers who blamed companies reaping Post Pandemic profits to republicans plan sounds like Government Overreach Econonomic Exexperts Are E skepeptical as therere is not grgreat Econo Evidenence thus far r that the k of the I Inflation we have seen or anywhere close to it its caused by corporate profiteer democrats seemed happy to embrace the new language. Kamala harris has articulated a very important plan to make sure that we are lowering costs for everyday americans. You think its smart policy, governor any effort we make to keep more money in americans pockets is worth walk in the path when we think abobout Youn Folks and what is top of mind for them, its the cost of their groceries and Ththeir Gas and D Child Carere when wewere talking about the middleclass, i think that the Vice President thinks about her own family. I grew up in a middleclass household for most of my childhood. We were renters my mother saved for well, over a D Decade to buy a home. Howow do you dedescribe here polititical persononality, Care Centnters around care. She has the skills of a prosecutor she knows how to analyze thE Facts, put Totogether Thehe Case but H Case starts with the care of others. Vice president harris has made a focus of championinG What we might call the care agenda, pushing these that were part of president Bidens Proposal . Because those early on are Build Back Agenda which will cut the cost of childcare by more than half, extend the Child Tax Credit and expand paid leave, but also things like medical debt relief, Student T Debt relieief, helpin smaller r busisinesses, minorityowned businesses, get better access to capital we have secured tens of billions of dollars in private Sector Investstment for s small busines and communitieies across a amer. Things likike susupporting P Ph Class famimilies and kind of creating an infrastructure of support around them. And a lot of her work also has been designed To Help not only families with children, but those who are responding constable for the caregiving of seniors and d people witith didisabilitieses. She talksks about t the sah economy. People who o Take Care of their c children, a and peop who Take Care of their aging parents. Thats always been something of a focus for her when she was attorney general, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. I spent many hours with her at the hospital fortunately, however, i had the type of job then where i could take the time i needed to be with my mother. But far too many others cannot harris Economicic Agenda for r 2024, It W would have a l of those same Care Economy components but the Vice President must convince voters she is better equipped on this issue than thehe Busininessmin Trumump and so t the C Challengl be, can Shshe Geget them to o Be Confidenent and how w She Woulu as an N Economic Policy Y stewa the Bideden Administraration fe like It T has a good economic story that bell and Vice President harris was part of that. They did after all, defy economists predictions of a fullon recession. And by many measures, the u. S. Pandemic recovevery was amomong the strongest in the world. They wanted to tout the economic numbers that they think are good but that didnt help americans stuck on the numbers that were not so good in 2022, inflation reached a 40 year high. And the current administration has battled to bring it down there are many economists who lay them blame, at least in part, on the historic and expensive legislation passed by the Bidenharris Administration in the aftermath of the pandemic when trump left office in place, her weight was oneandahalf percent and then 18 months later after Biden Harris spent 5 wewe at a 9 inflatioion rate. I i think there a are some economomists who a argue that t was ststill a mistake because o the additional contribution it had to Inflation And Inflation is definitely a huge vulnerability for her, especially as she tries to run on the biden white House Record one republicans are seizing on Vice President harris was the deciding vote on the american Rescue Plan and also the Inflation Reduction Act that led to inflation going up P Mom than 20. 1 . The Economy Y was certaiainly bidens Biggesest Weakneness T The Questioion Wil whether harris received the same level of blame for inflation. What Will Seam from Vice President harris so far is aN Effort to both project optimism a about the E Economy Pride in the policies you have done. We were facing one of the worst economic crises in modern history. And today by virtually every measure our economy is the ststrongest in thehe World Whwhile Alsoso empathizinG With voters feeling their pain for high prices still, we know that many americans dont yet T Fee that progress in their daily lives is a very difficult balancing act, but shes been trying to navigate that in the time since her campaign started. Up next, the Leak Decisi of dobbs changed. I think the trajectory of her Vice Presidency. Women in america no longer have a constitutional right to an abortion.

We believe this is a roadmap for how they will take row down the Leak Decision up p dobbs changed. I think the trajectory of her Vice Presidency in may of 2022, politico published a Leaked Draft Of A Supreme Court opinion, not just any opinion. It was dobbs Versus Jackson Womens Health Organization Ththe Decisionon to overerturn versusus wade. I think everybody remembers where they were when they saw the actual words come down we were all outraged. Vice president harris was outraged, but Vice President was due to speak that night and emilys list, one of the big political groups in the country that focuses on women and Reproduction Dr. Freites was the Vice President , began talking through what her concererns were atat some Poini Shshe started d to go into a R And Ththat Roof Lelead To How w they do this, how dare they come from . Womens rights . How dare they change this law . Those republican leaders who are trying to weaponize the use of the law against women well we s say, how w dare thehey. She gets s up on Thatat St and d she absolutely just blows the house down. How they tell a woman what she can do and cannot do with her own body and, it felt like a Shifift In T the room. T this incredibibly focused P Person in crediblyly Focus P Politician n useded Fighting G these, restrictions on abortion as her North Store its Ininteresting To Me Thatat She Wouldld embrac ththis, not fofor just Thehe Ob Reasons Ofof being a W Woman popolitician, et cetera. A. B but i its riright at theht when in some states, Abortioion Would D be crimiminalized spececifically, right . Nowow, mamakes Sense E that the prosesr wants s to jump inin, the Rolll Baback of roe was an a abject attack on people, wowomen who actualally needed d to get reprodoductive thehe care. E. An her r Commmments Aboutut How Da they the rejectition of f this sentimiment that o other P Peop men can Makeke Decisionsns Abou what rights women have about their own bodies and so when those rights were stripped away, of course, the prosecutor in her show up. Thats the place where her legal mind really kicked in as you saw how the implication of Ththis Decisioion would gogo in many otherer areas of americans lives that maybe most people didnt anticipate a majority of five justices overturned the Landmark Grover this is way decision. A month later, the conservative majority on the supreme court officially overturned nearly 50 years of federally protected access to abortion. The historic nature of todays five to four decision by the courts conservatives cannot be emphasized enough. She immmmediately g got on T Road after dobbs meetinG With lawmakers, meetinG With providers, she met with faith leaders. She talked to college presesidents. Shshe talked a a stududent governrnment leaders. E was the hub for all these different groups that were thinking about these questions. This statement has been made that the government has a right to come in your home until you as a woman and as a family, what you should do your body Vice President harris was betting the issue would grab the attention of voters others werent soshe sees. The last supper panels of Cable News Pundit saying its the Economy Poll after poll says that the economy will motivate a rered wave, rered wave, or ren the Mimidterm Elecections And W She Sasays is, i am m talking T Pepeople every day about this, and i know that Abortion Rights are top of mind for them. And you really saw her for the first time in her Vice Presidency, meaningfully trust her own instincts, and its not a surprise that everywhere that reproductive freedom was on the ballot, we won the abortion Rights Side has woN Every single tiMe Because people across the political spectrum codify roe, people across geographies, fundamental right people across faith, withouout having t the Religiou Beliefefs Of Otherers for step her and generations were outraged the, Vice President traveled the country on what she called a fight for reproductive Freedoms Tour Harris is believed to be the first sitting Vice President oR Presidenent to visitit an Abort Clinic . This hittining a clinicic thatats somethining Politicaca Ththat was seen n as like a a fascinatining moment. Yeah h and She Alalso took T Message into those suburban areas that we typically dont go into with her on that tour, her future running mate, minnesota governor tim walz. Was really impressed her by being by her side in that moment. And so i i think It T i dodoubling dowown on t the understandnding that t this Campmpaign Pain N is in so many ways about reproductive rights we trust women to know what is in their best interests and not have Abortion Rights are quite Liliterally Onon the ballot. T. Andnd so for a a Lot T of Pe Ththat is going toto be Justici Motivating for a reason to come to the polls as anything else recent polling says two thirds of americans oppose Ththe Supree Courts Decisionon on abortitio if elected, vice Preresident Haharris is promising g to secu federal Abortion Protection and when congress passes a bill to restore reproductive active freedom, as President Of The United States, i will proudly sign it into law but its not when congress passes the bill. Its if even if dememocrats won both the house andnd the senanate again t they need 60 0s shshoot across whatever thresholds are required,d, righ, to escape a filibuster what are more Realiststic Expectations Fr what a Harris Presidency would do on N Abortion R rights . I think Thehe Realisticic expectations have to be the restoration of the rights of roe. It is realistic for women to expect that they can make their own Healalth Care Dedeciss I Belilieve that i if Kamala H s wins, we wilL Li
