During this 2024 campaign, Donald Trump makes sometimes extreme remarks about profound changes to the economic and social policies of the United States, with controversial promises such as increasing taxes on Chinese products and the creation of “cities of freedom” on federal lands.
The Republican candidate for the American election took the anti-immigrant discourse up a notch, warning that foreigners with “bad genes” ont “invaded” the country after claiming Haitian migrants were eating cats in Ohio.
At a rally in Arizona on Sunday, Trump baselessly suggested that if Harris were elected, “the entire country would be transformed into a migrant camp”. Two days earlier, in Colorado, he had again sworn to “launch the largest deportation operation in US history”, promising: “We will close the border. We will stop the invasion of illegal immigrants into our country. We will defend our territory. We will not allow ourselves to be conquered.”
Attacks and proposals
The former president also threatened this weekend to withhold federal disaster aid to Democratic-led California — even as he falsely accuses Harris and President Joe Biden of doing the same in Republican districts affected by the hurricane. Trump also said CBS should lose its license for criticizing his editorial choices.
Donald Trump therefore continues to mark his campaign with drastic proposals, including a reduction in corporate taxes for companies producing in the United States and protectionist measures vis-à-vis China.
Among his most noted ideas, the establishment of “freedom cities”, new towns created on federal land, intended to stimulate the economy and offer young families access to property.
Harris under pressure in the face of this vision
These proposals have placed Kamala Harris in a delicate situation. She attempts to counter Trump’s growing influence by emphasizing that his return to power could threaten democratic values and fundamental rights acquired under previous administrations.
Democrats are increasingly concerned that the euphoria generated by Harris’ entry into the race (in July), her successful rallies and her performance in the following month’s debate have not yet translated into a decisive lead against Trump .
No leader has yet clearly emerged from the average of the latest national polls. The two candidates remain neck and neck.
As a reminder, even if Harris was ahead in the national polls, it is possible that, like Hillary Clinton before her, she could win the popular vote but not be elected in the Electoral College. This is how the electoral system works in the USA A polarizing electoral battle
Trump’s bold vision further polarizes the American electorate, forcing Kamala Harris and her camp to respond to proposals that, if implemented, could fundamentally transform American society.
