the 2024 election will be defined by complex economic debates, from the role of energy policy and inflation to competition with China and the risk of recession. Both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump face the challenge of balancing these economic concerns while appealing to an electorate that is deeply divided along ideological lines. As the Federal Reserve plays a crucial role in stabilizing the economy, the candidates’ economic messaging and ability to address voters’ concerns will shape their electoral success. The outcome of the election will likely hinge not only on each candidate’s economic vision but also on their ability to navigate the unpredictable challenges that lie ahead in the global and domestic economy.
