CNN The Lead With Jake Tapper September 4, 2024

Speaking slot aT The democratic convention and leading this hour, were just one week thats right. SeveN Days away from the very first debates between Vice President kamala while harris and former President Donald Trump today, were getting new insights into how both campaigns are preparing. While the Trump Campaign says theyre ramping up his Campaign Appearances in the coming days harris is gearing up to further lean into her economic proposals as she tries to moderate some of her past positions. Lets get straighT To cnns Kristen Holmes and Kayla Tausche and tail if youve got some brand new reporting about how Vice President harris is preparing and the new policies were going to see before she takes the stage thats right, jake, Vice President harris is going to be delivering an economic speech in new Hampshire Tomorrow where we have just learned some of the proposals that she has seT To unveil specifically he tried to lower taxes, cut regulation, and provide new financing for Small Businesses in particular, shes going to be calling to increase a Tax Deduction for Small Businesses to 50,000. Thats a tenfold increase from the current level of 5,000 thousand dollars of business is currently geT To deduct in their first year of operations and shes also going to be calling for some specific limits on regulations that apply to operational licenses and Tax Filing for Small Business as well weve learned from some of her advisors that she is alsO Expected to go after former presidenT Trumps 2017 Tax Cuts are doing in effecT ThaT The revenue gained from allowing some of those taxes on corporations and wealthy to lapse should be diverted. Or used to fund programs that matter to more every day americans. But whats so interesting jake, abouT The proposals that she is seT To unveil tomorrow is thaT They favor probusiness low regulation. Some of those traditional hallmarks of Republican Platforms and fiscal discipline is something that we expect her from our reporting to nod to as well. And this comes of course after unveiling her firsT Traunch of economic proposals about a month ago that republicans broadly slammed for being populist and instituting whaT They called as price controls. So clearly shes trying to hit back at republicans and take a page out of their own playbook before taking the stage directly opposing presidenT Trump. And kristen, theres no doubT ThaT This is hes gonna be a vastly different debate than what we saw between Biden And Trump on june 27. How has the Trump Campaign changed its strategy . Well, if you talk to some of his senior advisers, they say not very much. In fact, i spoke to Someone Today who said, oh, Donald Trumps whole life has been in preparation for this debate, which obviously sounds like something a Trump Adviser would say but we are told hes going to continue to have the same kind of quote, Unquote Policy Sessions that he had ahead of the last Debate Reminder that Donald Trump nor his team like to use the Word Preparation instead, viewed block off these sections of time thaT They call either policy time or Policy Review time where he sits down mostly with some of his senior advisers, Jason Miller even steven miller, whos noT Technically part of the campaign but has been advising him on various policies, particularly about immigration for example, vince haley, one of his speech writers and policy advisers. Hes going to talk through different Policy Aspects with them. We are told thaT That is built into this week. He doesnt have that much of a ramped up schedule yeT Today, he had nothing on the schedule tomorrow. He only has a fox town hall, so that is supposed to happen in these various blocks of time in between the next couple of days ahead of that debate. But one thing we know is certain they were nervous ahead of that debate with president Joe Biden. Obviously, they wanT To mimic those results, but even they will acknowledge this is a different race and a different candidate that hes going up against on tuesday. All right. Kristen holmes, thanks so much. Kayla tausche, u2. Lets bring back our panel. Now youre in an oped in the washington post. Democratic strategist, James Carville offered this device for advice for the debate he said, quote, Ms Harris must enable exactly what his campaign is scared to death of Letting Trump Be trump. She should let him talk over her, not just let him, but goad him into spouting insane Conspiracy Theories abouT The previous election. She should use her sense of humor at key moments to get under his Skin And Show hes not getting to her and she should welcome the personal attacks as a badge of honor. What do you think . Shes been very effective and noT Taking trumps bait, right . They even, even the repeated attempts to talk about her race. She said asked and answered. Lets move on. And its allowed her to position herself and talk about herself and her policies the way she wants to one of the things thats going to challenge this debate is that dynamic of a man and a woman. And when Hillary Clinton was running against him and trump was looming over her, there was some criticism over the facT ThaT The Reaction Wasnt to combat him or to confront him and that image wasnt ideals. Ill be interested to see how she used this. Is thaT That energy to push back againsT Trump without being aggressive and antagonistic. Lets be frank Donald Trump has already don some pretty sleazy things when it comes to Kamala Harris, hes gone after her race. He read he reposted a truth on his Social Media website. Alleging and its false since gross but alleging that Vice President harris is career has something to do with sexual favors. I mean, really disgusting, sleazy stuff whats your advice to him . Dont do that in the debate thats advice. No, i want obviously hes he hes struggling with how to go after a woman of color. He is struggling, but i donT Think that should matter. I mean, because shes a woman or a woman of color. I mean, obviously, i think its an incredible thing for the country in terms of progress thats a beautiful thing. I would even trump, wouldnt do this, but i would even say start off in acknowledging, hey, Vice President harris, this is a monumental occasion for you. Congratulations. And then sorry, hate in her heart on the points where he is strong policy. Absolutely. Theyre going to be in pennsylvania, talk a lot about fracking, talk abouT The facT That if you were to roll back some proponents or aspects of fracking, were going to see 7. 7 Million jobs a lesson, the country, the 1. 1 Trillion less and gdp and the 950 Billion less in work income. Talk about how it would impact americans Writ Large in terms of their energy costs. I mean, theres a very strong message to make in the commonwealth and two americans Writ Large withouT The personal engender attacks and share Vice President Couldnt Harris is going to have to set herself apart from President Biden, who has struggled with his popularity, specifically on issues like immigration, like The Economy last week she tried to and in her interview with dana defend the work there administration has accomplished while acknowledging thaT Theres more work to be done take a listen im very proud of the work that we have done that has brought inflation down to less than 3 . The work that we have done to cap the cost of insulin 35 a month for seniors and america recovered faster than any wealthy nation around The World. But you are right prices in particular for groceries are still too high. The american people know what i know it it is interesting how she tries to kind of be an incumbent for the good stuff and the and the Challenger And Underdog for the bad stuff. Its really interesting. One of the things that when all of the Big Switcheroo happened in july that i was questioned was how far can she go to separate herself from the president . She still is acting Vice President and the job of the Vice President is to supporT The president. And so to some extent she cant really oppose him publicly on an issue like gaza. She can make comments that sort of message things a little bit differently, but i dont know that she can really change whaT The message is or change with a policy is. Thats going to be a real challenge for her on the debate stage. But i think speaking to an earlier poinT That you made, xi shes not going to be like hillary. She is a prosecutor. She does not really come back rug like hide from a fight. I think were going to see a little bit of that, but i think their credit hopefully choose specific moments where they use her prosecutorial instincts rather than having to trying to have her fight him on every single poinT That hes making it. The idea that hes going to start an answer. Trump is going to start an answer and end up in some third universe in the same answer is something that is a wide open loophole to ask for clarification, asked for some coherence like what do you actually mean donald, is iT This or is iT ThaT That goes to the personality challenges as soon as Joe Biden lefT The race Donald Trump was the old established guy, and thats his challenge that he has to overcome in this debate you, jake, on that issue, where the Vice President said, well, i understand what americans are going through yet she went inflation coming down at cetera, that gives Donald Trump a Debate Opportunity to say, but youre the Vice President now, you have been for threeandahalf years, right . If youre acknowledging thaT The american people are suffering, well, what are you going to do if given four years that you currently arent doing, thats magically going to work. Now, can you do that effectively . Im not sure but i was certainly be prepping him to well, heres the answer. Shes given that answer already and most people, whether economists are even regular folks would say that, well, theres some things that you take care oF First and economy and then these other things happen after theres the baseline issues of recovering from covid broader Job Numbers and now its figuring out how to tackle the collusion thats going on with price controls. Thats like washington talking its noT The way regular americans are talking to. They go to the Grocery Stores and realize everything is expensive and they want someone to solve it. Now, trump needs to make that case so Kamala Harris, Vice President harris, has tried to project since she became the nominee this image of joy, a joyful warrior. Shes happy, she smiles, shes laughs it has worked so far. One of the things thaT The trump administer, the Trump Campaign wants to do is deflate thaT To paint her as not a joyful person to buT The paint her as a nasty person this is and i wanted to get your view on the shermichael. This is what former President Said trump said about Vice President harris. After during the Vice President ial debate with Mike Pence now they have kamala who they say has many deficiencies, but shes a nasty person. The way she treated Mike Pence was horrible. The way she treats people as horrible so that was from an interview over the weekend . Yeah. I mean, i have to say in terms of people who have noT Treated Mike Pence i dont know that Donald Trump has a huge standing there, but whats your talking about from the debate . Hes saying was taught. I think he was here. That was him over the weekend talking about Kamala Harris, how she was with Mike Pence aT The debate for years before minutes a frickin debate. You want your person to be tough againsT The other guy. I mean, she was tougher. Okay. Theres nothing wrong with that, jake, thats The Expectation shes going to be tough as hell probably nexT Tuesday and a former president and it should be prepared for her to be tough. It is a part of the process get over that debate. The issues you have a darn good position that youre in all the Polling Data Showcases thaT The american people, despite their dislikes of some of trumps character traits, they still think hes better on The Economy. They still think hes bet on immigration. So why in the hell are you spending time talking about her . Nasty person versus yes, i am the guy to drive home the message and make things better for you economic well thats i will say to shermichaels point, that idea of nasty person, nasty woman is not something that hes been unique with Kamala Harris, goes back to hillary, goes back to megan kelly. I mean, he he has a playbook of how he attacks people. Its abouT Their identity, and that is whats getting him in trouble, right . All right. Thanks.
