Harris and Trump economies show little daylight
Veronique de Rugy argues that Harris and Trump share a similar economic approach emphasizing intervention, tariffs, industrial policy, and subsidies. Both favor government shaping of the economy, with costly programs like green subsidies and CHIPS Act incentives, while long-term debt and deficits rise. The piece notes limited policy contrasts and calls out heavy spending and tax policy events.
