Donald Trump likes to blame Vice President Kamala Harris and his former election opponent, President Joe Biden, for inflation surging in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump offer two starkly different visions for the country with much at stake – from pocketbook economic issues and reproductive rights to the strength of the country’s global alliances and existential questions about the future of American democracy and the planet.As they compete for the White House, both candidates have laid out their plans in speeches, campaign ads and media interviews. Most of it amounts to a wish list, sketched out in broad strokes and lacking concrete details about how they would be implemented or paid for. A number of Trump’s proposals raise legal questions, while…
