Watch: The Fiscal Impact of the Harris and Trump Campaign Plans

The next President will face enormous fiscal challenges, yet both candidates have put forward policies that would increase debt and put fiscal sustainability further out of reach. 

On October 16, Marc Goldwein, senior vice president and senior policy director of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, gave a presentation featuring the findings of our paper, The Fiscal Impact of the Harris and Trump Campaign Plans, the first and only fully comprehensive fiscal analysis of former President Donald Trump’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign policy platforms.
