On her economic speech, here is how political commentator Ron Brownstein saw it on CNN:

"And what this speech did, I think, was really kind of lay out the depth of the divergence here. Trump is offering, in essence, a fortress America economic strategy, of unprecedented tariffs that we haven’t seen since before the depression, massive deportation and immigration restrictions, and low taxes. That was essentially the Republican agenda of the 1920s, before the depression. Harris, I think, as you saw in the speech, linked herself to Lincoln, and Eisenhower, Transcontinental Railroad Interstate Highway System, partnership between government and industry to a greater extent than we’ve seen really for most of the last fifty years, although Biden has moved in this direction, to nurture industries of the future, and to steer it towards specific places — that place-based economic strategy very significant as well. So the divergence between the two of them and the kind of economic future that they are offering and the role of government, the role of US interaction with the rest of the world, it could not be more profound, and I think this speech went a long-way toward giving people a better sense of how big that difference is.”
