She responded, \u201cIn this crisis \u2014 like in so many issues that affect the people of our country \u2014 I think it so important that leadership recognizes the dignity\u201d to which people are entitled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to stress that this is not a time for people to play politics,\u201d Harris added. <\/p>\n<p>Those comments came after the former president spoke at the Detroit Economic Club, offering sympathy to people affected by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the latter of which came ashore in Florida Wednesday night. But Trump also suggested that the Biden administration\u2019s response had been lacking, particularly in North Carolina after Helene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve let those people suffer unjustly,\u201d said Trump, who has for several days <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/kamala-harris-donald-trump-hurricane-helene-3097f1706455929adf5a4eb67f9cdf0f\">promoted falsehoods<\/a><\/span> about <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-fema-hurricane-helene-conspiracy-theories-criswell-07d5b1f6968cb2af11b63357186a1a15\">the federal response<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/kamala-harris\">Harris<\/a><\/span> virtually attended a briefing, held in the White House Situation Room with President Joe Biden, on emergency efforts in Milton\u2019s wake.

In reality, that is just for immediate needs, the first potential payout rather than the total.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat $750 that they\u2019re talking about, Mr. Trump and all those other people know it\u2019s a lie to suggest that\u2019s all they\u2019re going to get,\u201d Biden said Thursday. \u201cThey\u2019re being so damn un-American with the way they\u2019re talking about this stuff.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He added directly to Trump: \u201cGet a life, man. Help these people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the storm, Trump and Harris are both visiting key swing states strategically, trying to increase support with key voting blocs who could decide an election expected to be exceedingly close. <\/p>\n<p>In Michigan, where he\u2019s looking to appeal to primarily to blue-collar voters, Trump took a swipe at the city he happened to be campaigning in, suggesting that Detroit was \u201ca mess.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur whole country will end up being like Detroit if she\u2019s your president,\u201d he said of Harris. \u201cYou\u2019re going to have a mess on your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Harris responded that Trump \u201cyet again has trashed another great American city when he was in Detroit, which is just a further piece of evidence on a very long list of why he is unfit to be president of the United States.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2>Trump\u2019s economic speech featured multiple errors<\/h2>\n<p>The former president used his appearance at the Detroit Economic Club to echo core themes from his 2016 campaign, saying some other countries, especially China, are ripping the U.S. off and taking manufacturing business away. Trump said powerful companies have \u201craped\u201d the United States. He vowed to impose huge tariffs that he said would force other countries to negotiate what they charge on American products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve been screwing us for so many years that we\u2019re allowed to get some of that back,\u201d Trump said about charging tariffs from countries. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Trump has also claimed, without providing specifics, that he can use tariffs to reduce the U.S. budget deficit and pay for an expansion of childcare funding, even as he proposes other ideas without saying how he would replace the lost funding. .<\/p>\n<p>But the former president seemed to not understand the difference between the budget deficit and trade imbalances, conflating the two different economic measures as essentially being the same thing.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the federal government has nearly $36 trillion in total debt, a byproduct of the annual borrowing needed to cover the gap between tax revenues and government spending. Except Trump then seemed to indicate that the debt was a byproduct of the trade deficit with China \u2014 which is a separate issue that reflects the difference between how much a country exports and how much it imports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have $36 trillion in debt,\u201d Trump said. \u201cFor years and years and years, we\u2019ve been accumulating. We\u2019d have these deficits that are monstrous. We had 5,6,7 $800 billion deficit with China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also claimed that \u201cwe had the highest job numbers in my administration,\u201d but that isn\u2019t true any longer. The unemployment rate fell slightly lower under Biden \u2014 to 3.4% early last year, the lowest in a half-century, below 3.5% before the pandemic under Trump.<\/p>\n<h2>Harris looks to boost Hispanic support<\/h2>\n<p>Harris has a rally in Phoenix after participating in the town hall for the Spanish-language network Univision. She\u2019s looking to increase support among Hispanic voters, especially men. <\/p>\n<p>Her campaign began a group this week known as \u201cHombres con Harris\u201d \u2014 Spanish for \u201cMen for Harris\u201d \u2014 that is planning to hold events at Latino-owned small businesses, union halls, barbecues and community events until Election Day. <\/p>\n<p>At Univision\u2019s \u201cLatinos Ask, Kamala Harris Responds\u201d event, Ivett Castillo, 40 and a Las Vegas resident, told Harris that she\u2019s an American citizen born to two Mexican parents and that her mother died six weeks ago. She cried as she asked the vice president about \u201cplans to support that subgroup of immigrants here their whole lives and who live and die in the shadows.\u201d When the town hall ended, Harris went over and clasped hands with Castillo, whose face was still streaked with tears.<\/p>\n<p>In response to her question, Harris noted that Biden sent a bill to Congress on his first day in office seeking to create pathways to U.S. citizenship for many people in the country illegally that was never considered. <\/p>\n<p>Unauthorized border crossings hit record highs during the Biden administration before declining this year after the president issued an executive order restricting asylum claims. <\/p>\n<p>Another audience member asked Harris to explain how she replaced Biden on the Democratic ticket, prompting her to respond, \u201cPresident Biden made a decision that I think history will show was probably one of the most courageous a president could make.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She said Biden \u201cput country before personal interest\u201d and \u201curged me to run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hispanic voters are about evenly split on whether to trust Harris or Trump to do a better job handling the economy, but they give the former president an edge on handling immigration. Hispanic women are more likely to trust Harris to better handle the economy and immigration, and Hispanic men are more likely to trust Trump on both issues, according to polling from The Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, former President <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/obama\">Barack Obama<\/a><\/span> hit the campaign trail Thursday night, making his first appearance for Harris at a rally in Pittsburgh. Obama\u2019s team says he will focus on swing states, especially those with key Senate races. Biden has <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/biden-harris-lame-duck-joint-campaigning-79496a704736e8965010eea3bb6b6b5d\">just made one joint campaign appearance with Harris<\/a><\/span> since he himself left the race in July. <\/p>\n<p>Among those attending was Glenda Ellison, a 71-year-old retired schoolteacher and Democrat from Pittsburgh. She said she is feeling \u201ca little nervous\u201d about the election but \u201cprayerful that it\u2019s going to turn out in our favor.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Volmert reported from Detroit.
