With Election Day less than two months away, the major presidential and vice presidential candidates are focusing their efforts in battleground states.Vice President Kamala Harris will spend the next several days in Pennsylvania, preparing for next week's debate against former President Donald Trump.Meanwhile, Trump will head to North Carolina, following his economic speech in New York where he pitched lower taxes and higher tariffs. He also floated the idea of appointing billionaire and ally Elon Musk to cut government waste. "I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms," Trump said.Along with tariffs, Trump proposed slashing regulations to boost energy production and cutting corporate taxes.But contrary to most economists' predictions, he says tariffs and reduced government waste will offset the rising costs of childcare and get more parents into the workforce.Running mate JD Vance also weighed in, suggesting fewer certifications for daycare workers and making it easier for grandparents to watch children.In a rally in battleground state Arizona Thursday, Vance focused on border and immigration issues."We're going to close down that border," Vance said to a cheering crowd. "If you are in this country illegally in six months, pack your bags because you're going home."Vance's counterpart, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz, emphasized unions and jobs in Pennsylvania. "When unions were at their strength and their strongest and more people were in them, the middle class was better off," Walz said.Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff will fundraise in Illinois Friday while Vance will do the same in California. In North Carolina, Trump will speak to the Fraternal Order of Police.
