The upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is shaping up to be a showdown over the economy, with both candidates hoping to sway voters on an issue that's top of mind for many. The debate will likely be a heated affair, with each candidate trying to portray their opponent's economic policies as detrimental to the average American. This will likely be a word battle, with each candidate attempting to sway voters with promises of economic prosperity while painting the other as a threat to this prosperity.

One key area of contention will be the two candidates' approaches to taxation. Trump is likely to advocate for a renewed focus on his signature tax cuts, arguing they helped stimulate job creation and wage growth during his presidency. Harris, on the other hand, is expected to push for higher corporate tax rates and may question the equity of Trump's cuts, highlighting concerns that a larger share of the tax burden falls on middle-class Americans.

Beyond taxation, the debate could reveal how both candidates plan to tackle issues like inflation and the cost of living. We may also see each candidate try to tie their own economic proposals to their commitment to job creation. Both candidates have likely been prepping their battle plans to address these thorny issues and voters are eager to hear how each addresses their own concerns. Ultimately, who will succeed in winning over voters remains to be seen, but this debate is sure to be a key moment in the race for the presidency.
