How Democrats became united with a vision for America’s economic future

For months, polls showed that Donald Trump had a sizable lead regarding who would best handle the economy. For anyone who remembered that Trump left the nation in the middle of a deep economic crash after hitting the highest level of unemployment since the Great Depression, trusting Trump on any economic issue was maddening. The rise in inflation was part of the price required to drag the nation out of the ditch, and it made zero sense to hand the keys back to the man who drove it there.

However, in recent polls, Kamala Harris is rapidly closing Trump’s advantage. And that was before her new series of economy-centric ads or the CNN interview that should help make Americans more comfortable with Harris as the kind of capable, thoughtful leader they want at the helm.

But part of the reason that gap may be closing is that Democrats are becoming increasingly unified in their economic approach. What Harris is proposing in her economic plan is appealing, and the unity of Democrats on these issues means that it’s much more likely to become reality.
