Election 2024 live updates: Harris set to address inflation in key battleground state North Carolina

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to unveil her economic agenda in a speech Friday in Raleigh that is expected to focus on high food and housing costs. Although year-over-year inflation has reached its lowest level in more than three years, food prices are 21% above where they were three years ago.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump on Thursday gave his second news conference in as many weeks where he blended falsehoods about the economy with misleading statements and deeply personal attacks about Harris.

What to know:

  • DNC preparations: Four days before the Democratic National Convention opens in Chicago, the party’s proposed platform names the wrong candidate for president. The Democratic platform has not been updated since a draft was released July 13, eight days before President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
  • VP debate: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Ohio Sen. JD Vance have agreed to debate each other on Oct. 1, setting up a matchup of potential vice presidents as early voting in some states gets underway for the general election.
  • What the polls are saying: Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign is launching a $90 million advertising effort over the next three weeks to introduce the Democrat to voters and sharpen the contrast with Republican Donald Trump.
