  • Will Harris’s new manufacturing policy move the election needle?

    Will Harris’s new manufacturing policy move the election needle?
    Sep 27 2024
    With less than 40 days until Election Day, potential October Surprises looming on the horizon, and Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump essentially tied in the polls, the candidates are doing everything in their power to try to move the needle in their favor. Will their policies on manufacturing be the thing to make it happen? In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Wershkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman break down Vice President Harris’s latest pillar to her “opportunity economy” plan that focuses on manufacturing. How does it compare to former President Trump’s policy? Wershkul says while both candidates have the same end goal, they go about them in "pretty different means." For Harris, her plan according to Wershkul is, "a lot of government involvement in specific sectors that she calls 'sectors for the future'." These could include areas such as biomanufacturing, aerospace, and quantum computing. Though the Harris campaign has yet to outline the extent of their involvement, Werkshul says, "if you work in those sectors or invest in those sectors, a President Harris would have a keen interest." For Trump, he continues to reiterate his manufacturing policy, which, according to Werkshul, is, "essentially a wall around the country in the form of tariffs." This episode is also joined by former governor of Vermont, Howard Dean to discuss the election, economic populism, as well as the state of healthcare in the United States.

    The Fed cut interest rates. Is this better for Harris or Trump?
    Sep 20 2024
    This week marked a major milestone for the US economy. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by fifty basis points for the first time since 2020. Though this moment is charting a new path forward for the future in the fight against inflation, people on both sides of the aisle have their own opinions on what this means for the economy moving forward. What does this all mean and how does the presidential election come into play? We dive into it. In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Wershkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman chat all things Fed. They are later joined by retired four-star Army Gen. Wesley Clark, to discuss foreign policy and its influence on the upcoming election and the economy. “I think the biggest impact is going to be what happens in the Middle East,” General Clark explains. “I think it could really change the election…” Later, Yahoo News reporter Andrew Romano drops by to give us the latest post-debate polling updates for the presidential election.

  • Debate debrief: Where do Harris and Trump go from here?

    Debate debrief: Where do Harris and Trump go from here?
    Sep 13 2024
    America’s eagerly awaited presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump was one for the history books. From fierce arguments, to real-time fact-checking, to heated policy discussions, and even a Taylor Swift endorsement, it was a big night for presidential politics. But what does it all mean for the election and for voters? In this week’s episode of Capitol Gains, anchor Rachelle Akuffo, Washington Correspondent Ben Wershkul, and senior columnist Rick Newman chat with Lee Carter, President and Partner of maslansky + partners to discuss the candidates’ debate performances and whether or not either of them actually swayed voters. Carter hosted a live focus group of undecided voters during Tuesday night’s debate and says that though most people surveyed believed Harris won, not one person changed their stance on voting. “Ultimately, this election is going to come down to how people feel,” Carter explains. “It is going to impact them personally in their day-to-day lives and whichever candidate now can convince them that their financial lives, their freedoms - all of that - is going to be better off under that candidate, that’s who they are going to vote for.” With a little more than 50 days until Election Day, where do the candidates go from here and what are they going to have to do to earn Americans votes to win the White House?
