Top issues for Americans heading into Harris-Trump debate
What are the top issues for Americans heading into the Harris-Trump debate?
OAKLAND, Calif. - The economy, abortion and immigration will inevitably be topics during Tuesday's debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, as each hopes to win the most powerful seat in the land in November.
The debate, which starts at 9 p.m. EST (6 p.m. PST) in Philadelphia, may be the only debate before the election to see who will become president.
KTVU decided to conduct its own (unscientific) poll early Tuesday to see what viewers most cared about: The economy, healthcare, the Supreme Court, violent crime and immigration.
Early results showed that the economy was the No. 1 issue.
Moderators also will likely ask the pair their thoughts on taxes, global alliances, climate change and democracy itself.
Since replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, Harris – a Bay Area native – has pledged to chart a new way forward even as she has embraced many of his ideas.
She wants middle class tax cuts, tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations, a restoration of abortion rights and a government that aggressively addresses climate change, among other stances.
Seeking a return to the White House, Trump wants the extension and expansion of his 2017 tax cuts, a massive increase in tariffs, more support for fossil fuels and a greater concentration of government power in the White House.
