Trump and Harris held a campaign event in Pennsylvania on Monday to win voter support

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democratic rival Kamala Harris held campaign events in Pennsylvania on Monday, with both sides trying to win over voters in the key battleground state. Trump promised to eliminate the Social Security income tax and deregulate the energy and homebuilding industries in an effort to win over women and independent voters in the Philadelphia suburbs. He argued that doing so would unlock homeownership by lowering inflation and interest rates. "You've been eaten up by inflation, and what I'm doing is bringing you back to balance," Trump said. Harris, for her part, is looking to boost her support among black male voters by visiting Erie, where she visited a local record and coffee shop to discuss small business ownership. Harris has proposed tax breaks of up to $50,000 for newly formed small businesses, and ahead of the event, Harris proposed measures such as a new program for black entrepreneurs and others facing barriers to financing that would provide up to $20,000 in loans for starting a business up to $1 million. Harris also pledged Monday to support regulatory frameworks for cryptocurrencies, provide more support for the 20% of black Americans who own or have owned digital assets, and work with lawmakers to legalize recreational marijuana and ensure black people can participate in the expanding marijuana industry. Other proposals include creating training and mentoring programs to help black men get high-paying jobs. (Bloomberg)
