Donald Trump has criticized Vice President Kamala Harris as a “communist,” while Harris is emphasizing her capitalist background. Trump, on the other hand, is embracing his populism in response to attacks from Harris, who accuses him of being a rich kid who inherited $400 million from his father on a “silver platter.” Both presidential candidates are preparing to give speeches that showcase their economic agendas in an attempt to appeal to voters in battleground states and address concerns about the economy.

Harris is scheduled to take part in a sit-down interview with Stephanie Ruhle of MSNBC in Pittsburgh where she will also deliver a speech on the economy and manufacturing. Harris has faced criticism for avoiding media interviews during her campaign for the presidency, and the interview with Ruhle will be her first one-on-one with a national network since becoming the Democratic nominee. Previously, Harris had participated in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash alongside her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

Meanwhile, amidst escalating conflict in the Middle East, Vice President Kamala Harris has garnered the endorsement of Emgage Action, one of the largest Muslim American voter mobilization groups in the country. The endorsement from the political arm of an 18-year-old Muslim American advocacy group is seen as a significant development for Harris’s campaign, especially as other Muslim and Arab American organizations have chosen to support third-party candidates or not endorse any candidate. Emgage Action, based in Washington D.C. and operating in eight states, including key battlegrounds like Michigan and Pennsylvania, will now concentrate its voter-outreach efforts on supporting Harris and down-ballot candidates.

Furthermore, investigations into the Secret Service security failure during the shooting incident targeting Donald Trump are ongoing. The acting director of the Secret Service expressed dismay at the lack of proper security measures in place during the July incident, emphasizing the need for improved safeguards. The incident, which resulted in the death of one individual and injuries to three others, including the former president, has raised concerns about missed opportunities to prevent the attack. As the country deals with another attempted attack on Trump in Florida, the repercussions of the security lapses in Pennsylvania continue to be assessed to ensure such incidents are not repeated.
