Harris wants to challenge Trump on policy at debate

PITTSBURGH — Vice President Harris wants to challenge former President Trump on policy on the debate stage Tuesday, hoping to make a compelling argument that she’s stronger than the former president on issues that Americans care about while responding to criticism about her own proposals.
“She’s not just going to read off statistics, she’s going to read off what her policy is and how it actually will impact peoples’ lives,” a former Harris aide said.
Trump’s comments about child care costs during a New York speech Thursday added fuel to this part of Harris’s strategy.
The former president was asked at the Economic Club of New York if he would commit to prioritizing legislation to make child care affordable. He gave a lengthy answer in response without articulating any specific legislation he would propose, instead suggesting tariffs on foreign nations would help cover costs.
