Yesterday in New Hampshire, Vice President Harris unveiled a new plan to help small businesses and entrepreneurs across America grow and thrive. It’s already resonating. Small business owners and local leaders across the battlegrounds are talking about how the plan would benefit them – and slamming Trump’s Project 2025 agenda that would make life more expensive. While Vice President Harris’ proposal will make it easier to start and grow a business, Donald Trump’s plans will cut off federal programs that give support to small businesses, and he will give billionaires massive tax cuts and cut corporate taxes by over a trillion dollars, even as they pull in record profits.
Today and this weekend, our campaign will hold more than 30 events across the states with business owners underscoring the choice in this election between two very different economic visions: one that builds up the middle class, versus one that helps billionaires and big corporations at working families’ expense.
