Byron Donalds (R-FL) downplayed the significance of falling inflation for Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s prospects in the 2024 election, asserting that she played a role in the initial rise of inflation. In July, annual inflation dropped to 2.9%, marking its lowest level since March 2021. However, Donalds expressed skepticism about this improvement benefiting Harris, pointing out that she cast the deciding vote on both the American Rescue Plan in 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act in the Senate. He stated on CNN, &#8220;All that did was create massive government spending, which led to significant inflation affecting American families.&#8221; He noted that overall prices have increased by over 20%, particularly in areas like food. According to Donalds, Harris&#8217;s record shows a failure to support working families: &#8220;When Donald Trump was president, we didn\u2019t experience rampant inflation; our economy was thriving while middle-income families were advancing.&#8221; He claimed that Harris has been closely aligned with President Joe Biden during their time managing the U.S. economy and argued that former President Trump is clearly positioned as the candidate capable of driving economic change.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about whether Trump&#8217;s age might hinder his appeal to voters, Donalds suggested that Harris is largely absent from public view. This led to a disagreement with a CNN interviewer who implied her age could be an issue when presenting her policies publicly. Donalds clarified his stance: &#8220;It\u2019s not about her age; it\u2019s about her ability and competency to lead our country moving forward.&#8221; He questioned what her economic agenda would entail and whether it would differ from Biden&#8217;s administration since Susan Rice has indicated Harris played a key role in shaping their agenda.<\/p>\n<p>A recent poll by Financial Times and University of Michigan revealed voters trust Harris slightly more than Trump\u2014by just one percentage point\u2014on handling economic issues after Trump had previously held a six-point lead over Biden on this matter.
