 How Harris and Trump’s economic pledges stack up
==========

The US election race is heating up as economic concerns dominate voter priorities; Kamala Harris and Donald Trump propose differing strategies to address high living costs; Trump pledges low taxes, reduced regulations, and tariffs up to 60% on Chinese goods; he aims to reduce energy prices and housing costs by deporting up to 11 million immigrants; Harris focuses on increasing competition in the food industry, proposing government support for new meatpacking companies and a federal ban on price gouging; she plans to build 3 million new housing units and provide $25,000 to first-time home buyers; both candidates lack detailed funding plans for their proposals; over 20 Nobel laureates in economics endorse Harris' agenda as superior; the election outcome will be determined by voter response to these economic pledges.
