Who would run Harris’s economy?
We are two weeks from election day — good morning and welcome to US Election Countdown. I'm Steff Chávez, the FT's Washington reporter. Today let’s explore:
Kamala Harris wants to overhaul the team that runs the US economy. But there’s a lot that needs to happen first.
With a razor-thin polling margin, she is not expected to make any big decisions about potential economic appointments before election day. Donald Trump has all but erased the vice-president’s lead in swing state polls.
Yet Harris has a big fundraising advantage. Her campaign raised close to $1bn in its first three months — more than Trump’s entire haul since January 2023 — and Democrats hope Harris’s war chest can put her over the edge.
If she is victorious, she’ll have to make quick decisions. Harris is set to name an economic team that embodies the centrist, moderate approach to policy that she has touted in her stump speeches. . . . Register for the FT to keep reading the newsletter for free.
