Trump is "on fire"
With only six weeks left before the US election, Trump suddenly made a big move. On September 24, Eastern Time, former US President and Republican presidential candidate Trump delivered an economic speech in Savannah, Georgia. He said that if he won the election, he would encourage foreign companies to move to the United States and promised to establish special manufacturing zones on federal lands. At the same time, Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on every car entering from the Mexican border.
It is worth noting that Trump's "tariff stick" even threatens American giants. He said at an event in Pennsylvania that if the US agricultural machinery giant John Deere outsources part of its production business to Mexico, it will impose tariffs of up to 200% on its products.
Currently, Trump and US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Harris are increasing their attention to the economic field. After Trump finished his speech, Harris plans to speak in another key state, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday. Her campaign team said that she will further elaborate on her "opportunity economy" concept in the state.
Judging from the latest polls, Harris seems to have a slight advantage. A newly released Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that Harris leads Trump by 47% to 40% before the US presidential election in November, as she seems to have weakened Trump's advantage in the economy and employment. According to the latest poll results released by the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School, Harris has expanded the Democratic Party's advantage among young voters. Among young potential voters, Harris leads Trump by 64% to 32%.
