My take with some baked in bias due to my preferred candidate.
Harris- Opportunity economy which means diddly without details. Giving first time home buyers 25k to purchase a home will only raise prices. (free COVID money proved that theory) 50k to small business start ups. Bad investment considering 20% will fail in the first year and 50% will fail within 5yrs. And what Mac said above.
Trump- I think he will use tariffs more strategically than how he poorly communicates his intentions. He knows how powerful of a tool they are to negotiate favorable terms and to punish bad actors. He will cut taxes and that will benefit the middle class as was proven in his first term. The real numbers back that up. Release the leash on energy production. Even though the prices have eased, further decreases will help ease inflation (energy prices affect virtually every industry in the world) and stimulate more growth. And it will allow more growth in energy exports, mainly natural gas, and dramatically grow that industry while helping our allies and hurting our foes. But the 2 most important goals are cutting regulation and auditing all Federal agencies for waste and fraud. These 2 actions alone would unleash growth and cut Federal spending. dramatically. And what Mac said above.
And while I agree that it's the economy stupid, geopolitics are a close 2nd for me. Under the current admin, the world has become more chaotic and it will only get worse until we get competent people in place to deal with world issues. Just saying "Don't" is not a strategy!

Who Really Pays the Tariffs? U.S. Firms and Consumers, Through Higher Prices
The bulk of economic evidence shows for most of the new tariffs imposed under the Trump administration, U.S. firms or consumers bore 100 percent, or even more, of the burden through lower profits or higher retail prices. While a number of supply- and demand-related factors are primarily...
taxfoundation.org
Economists Pablo Fajgelbaum, Pinelopi Goldberg, Patrick Kennedy, and Amit Khandelwal examined the tariffs on washing machines, solar panels, aluminum, steel, and goods from the European Union and China imposed in 2018 and 2019. They found that US firms and final consumers bore the entire burden of tariffs and estimated a net loss to the US economy of $16 billion annually, including more than $114 billion in losses to firms and consumers, offset by small gains to protected producers and revenue gains to the government.

Posted this in another thread but wanted to share.
It's already being reported here in Lake Havasu that the polling places are only handing out "provisional" ballots. Provisional ballots are only used "if" the voter's eligibility is questioned.
democrats at work already.

While I understand the economic impact of tariffs, look at the trade off. If I vote for Trump, we get tariffs. If you vote for harris, you get Ukraine spending, school loan payoffs, them/they surgeries, money out to illegals...Who Really Pays the Tariffs? U.S. Firms and Consumers, Through Higher Prices

I'm pretty sure the economic choice is "tariffs" in the case.

I prefer the Narcos down the street to the communists across the ocean.
Tariffs take a while to change market conditions. Yes, there's temporary pain, but the long-term goal is worth it. I'm tired of sending trillions to a country that wants nothing more than to destroy us.

Just another thought.spin on this. Mexican and China have become very cozy. Who's to say that China isn't pushing products through Mexico and distributing them as Mexican products under NATFA rules.
Mexico is so corrupt. I put nothing past them.
Secondly I would revoke lifetime pensions, and exemptions from the laws they pass on the masses. Third no more paid lobbyist's. It's nothing more than corrupt bribery and extortion, and we are footing the bill. Until those changes are made. (will never happen) nothing changes. IMHO eventually the left will complete the circle and any and all remaining freedoms will continue to systematically be stripped and removed.

China has already been pushing products through SE Asian countries to work around trade rules and tariffs. I'm sure Mexico is a cheaper way of getting goods into the US to skirt trade rules, so I would not be surprised to see this tactic grow even more.

We shopped getting PCAs built in Mexico and they straight up said "have us do a "second process" on your PCAs imprinted from China and we will ship them to you. Tariff avoided"....
