DAILY TALKING POINTS

Team Biden-Harris Slams Trump’s Attacks on the Middle Class, Small Businesses 

• Two days before the first general election debate, Team Biden-Harris is underscoring a fundamental question Americans are going to ask themselves at the ballot box in November: Are we going to have an economy that works for the middle class or one that enriches the wealthiest among us while leaving working people behind?

• Joe Biden knows his answer. He is rebuilding the backbone of America – the middle class – so that everyone gets a fair shot. And, he is working every day to make life more affordable for the American people:

  • After Trump left office with the worst jobs record since the Great Depression, Joe Biden brought us back from the brink, with more than 15.6 million jobs and a record number of small businesses created. 

  • Beat Big Pharma to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for seniors and lower prescription drug costs. 

  • Has a plan to make housing costs more affordable by building and preserving 2 million homes, lower child care costs, and cut taxes for hardworking families.

  • Cracking down on corporate price gouging that pads the profits of big corporations at your expense. 

• In stark contrast, Donald Trump has no plan to help the middle class. Instead, his agenda would rig the economy for himself and his billionaire donors: 

  • Proposing another billionaire tax break of $3.5 million apiece, every year, and more handouts to big corporations, exploding the national debt.

  • Jacking up the prices of everyday goods, like groceries and medicines, through a plan that increases taxes on working families by up to $8,300.

  • Cutting Social Security and Medicare and terminating the ACA, sending health care costs skyrocketing.

• That’s the choice the American people are going to see on the debate stage on Thursday night.
