Early polls suggest Vice President Kamala Harris has opened up a lead over former President Trump among Latino voters. But so far, she hasn't hit the level of Hispanic support Democrats historically have needed to win the White House [_link] mix— Russell Contreras (@RussContreras) August 11, 2024

Can Kamala Harris win over disenchanted Latino voters? | The Guardian - 15 Aug 2024 | Most southern California Chicanos reflect their state's liberal tendencies and have little in common ideologically with the majority of Miami's right-leaning Cuban Americans. Phoenix-based pollster Mike Noble notes that Latino voters whose roots go back to Colombia, Venezuela and other South American countries have been gravitating towards the Republican party over the past four years. Latinos are not yet digging deep into their pockets to support Harris. Two Zoom fundraising calls with Black women and men held on consecutive nights right after Biden bowed out brought in a total of $2.8m. Similar Zoom calls with Latinas and Latinos for Kamala on 24 and 31 July, respectively, posted a combined net haul of $188,000. Axios Latino has been tracking US Latinos' views of Harris in conjunction with Noticias Telemundo and the Ipsos market research and public opinion firm since the first year of the Biden administration. By the end of 2021, Axios Latino found that 48% of Latinos had a favorable opinion of Harris - but that figure had slumped to 39% by last March. A different survey of Latinos in 10 states found that sentiment persisted in Arizona and Nevada even days after Biden's fateful debate performance in late June.

Yesterday, I crossed the path of a headline stating that NEW! voter registrations by black women has increased 175% since the DNC tent folded, 23 Aug.
I somewhat regret reading that story. If I had, I might have learned, for example, which states sort voter registrations by race and sex.

In a 10-minute radio interview with Edna Chapa, an entertainment reporter known as "Angel Baby," Harris made the case that her economic proposals are fundamentally sound, dismissing Trump's as bluster.

Conversely, those analysts estimated that Harris's spending and tax credit proposals would "more than offset" any deceleration caused by the higher corporate income tax she proposes.

* I wasted a few hours at GS sifting "research" in recession leading indicators (eg. labor market), ironically, and did not find it. Or tax analyses pertaining to forecast investment in high-risk sectors. So I selected two detailed secondary sources quoting the "note".
GS: MAGA Policy Hits EU Economy Hard 'Sapere aude'
HARRIS @13:13: So, Donald Trump has no plan for you, and when you looat his economic plan, it's all about tax breaks for the richest people. I am offering what I describe as an opportunity economy and the best economis in our country, if not the world, have reviewed our relative plans for the future of America. What Goldman Sachs has said is that Donald Trump's plan would make the economy worse. Mine would strengthen the economy. What the Wharton School has said is, Donald Trump's lan would actually explode the deficit. Sixteen Nobel laureates have his economic plan as something that would increase inflation, and by the middle of next year would invite a recession. You just have to look at where we are and where we stand on the issues, and I'd invite you to know that Donald Trump actually has no plan for you because he is more interested in defending himself than hs is in looking out for you.
Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon called out the Democratic presidential nominee for a claim she made during Tuesday's showdown in which she touted the investment bank's analysis of her plan -- saying the Vice President blew the report out of proportion. Solomon pointed put that the report "came from an independent analyst" and that Harris left out key details—including that the difference on the economy between the rival plans was "about two-tenths of 1%." "I think this blew up into something that's bigger than what it was intended to be," Solomon told CNBC on Wednesday [11 Sep].

MUIR @ 16:34: Vice President Harris, I do want to ask for your response, and you heard what the president said there, because the Biden Biden administration did keep a number of the Trump tariffs in place. So how do you respond? HARRIS: Well, let's be clear that the Trump administration resulted in a trade deficict, one of the highest we've ever seen in the history of America. [... @17:44] What Donald Trump did was thank—Let's talk about this with COVID—was he actually thanked President Xi for what he did during COVID. Look at his tweet. Thank you, President Xi, exclamation point, when we know that Xi was responsible for lacking [?] and not giving us transparency about the origins of COVID.
