Donald Trump heads into the Republican National Convention with sweeping promises to revitalize the U.S. economy. However, many details about his plans remain vague.
The convention will likely remain focused on the economy, despite a setback from a shooting at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania where he was injured. If the event proceeds as scheduled, expect speakers to praise Trump's agenda of imposing tariffs and lowering taxes to jump-start the economy. Trump has proposed tariffs on trade partners and tax cuts while aiming to reduce the corporate tax rate.
Democrats and economists warn that Trump's proposals could cause inflation and hurt the middle class. With little concrete policy, Trump's campaign banks on voter perception over specifics. Meanwhile, Biden offers a detailed 188-page budget proposal. Trump's past presidency offers voters a preview of what his second term could entail, with some predicting a more radical agenda and others a focus on business-driven growth.
