Cooper referenced his efforts to expand Medicaid and improve access to high-speed internet as strategies that might sway rural voters toward supporting Democrats this election cycle. He also mentioned Harris&#8217;s economic plan aimed at reducing costs related to childcare and prescription drugs. Republicans have criticized Harris for not having a clear policy agenda with less than two months until Election Day, especially before her upcoming debate with former President Trump on Tuesday. Earlier on Sunday, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson suggested that Harris needs clarity regarding her policies since he believes she is unsure of them herself.
