WAPO’s Catherine Rampell on how the Economy is Helping Harris (a little) (Al Franken podcast)

The economy is always one of the most important issues in any election. So how does Kamala Harris’s vision for America’s economy stack up against Donald Trump’s? 

Catherine Rampell from the Washington Post joins us to discuss. Trump’s economic plan seems to revolve around tariffs, an issue that he seems to have a hard time understanding. Not only that, his threat to deport millions of undocumented workers will undoubtedly drive up the cost of goods around the country. 

It’s clear that Trump cannot be trusted on this issue. 

Plus, Catherine tells us the story of Flint, Michigan and a program that is aimed to give money to families of newborn babies. It’s a plan so successful and so popular that Kamala Harris has adopted a version of it for her campaign platform. Can it work on the national level?
