Egypt Daily News – The electoral district in Wilmington, North Carolina, opened its polling location at 6:30 AM Eastern Time, initially seeing a line of 30 to 40 people that has since grown.
Meanwhile, in Georgia, at the Gwinnett County Voter Registration and Elections Office in Lawrenceville, early Tuesday morning found a line of voters waiting to manually submit their absentee ballots.
As the 2024 U.S. elections approach, candidates from both major parties—Donald Trump and Kamala Harris—are presenting contrasting positions on critical issues impacting voters, with the economy taking center stage.
The U.S. has experienced significant inflation in the past three years, leading to concerns over purchasing power for many Americans. In response, Republican candidate Donald Trump has proposed imposing tariffs exceeding 10% on all imports to fund substantial tax cuts.
He also aims to position the United States as the “global capital of cryptocurrencies.”
Conversely, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has sought to portray herself as the “middle-class candidate,” advocating for an “economy of possibility.”
Her platform includes proposals for a birth tax credit, incentives for business creation, and initiatives to encourage property ownership. However, analysts note that her initiatives may not be resonating with voters, as many associate her with the inflationary challenges faced during President Joe Biden’s administration, perceiving her as an extension of policies that have not effectively addressed these economic issues.
