The Latest Developments in American Politics
Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a new indictment against former President Donald Trump, honing in on his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. This indictment, filed Tuesday, addresses the same criminal charges but is more focused, removing a section that accused Trump of trying to misuse the Justice Department’s law enforcement powers to alter the election results.
On the other hand, Vice President Kamala Harris has embarked on her fall campaign for the White House, aiming to break a long-standing tradition. Since 1836, only one sitting vice president, George H.W. Bush in 1988, has successfully transitioned to the presidency. The road to the White House is challenging, with history showing the struggles of past sitting vice presidents such as Richard Nixon, Hubert Humphrey, and Al Gore.
Shift the focus to the upcoming 2024 election, and the race is heating up. Harris has launched an ad campaign linking Trump to the conservative “Project 2025,” a plan that aims to overhaul government agencies and policies. This move is part of a multi-million dollar ad campaign by Harris’ team to sway voters and influence Trump’s social media activity, especially in key battleground states.

Family Costs and Policy Proposals
The rising costs of raising a family and caring for children and the elderly are central to the presidential campaigns. Both candidates, Harris and Trump, have expressed support for an expanded child tax credit. Harris plans to continue Biden’s initiatives for affordable child and elderly care, advocating for increased tax credits. On the other hand, Trump remains ambiguous about his plans for child care affordability, with his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, emphasizing family-centric policies.
