Prior to the presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, Atlanta residents say they want to hear both candidates address the strain of inflation. Svante Myrick weighs in on potential debate strategies:
Svante Myrick, president of the progressive nonprofit group People for the American Way, said the vice president needs to continue talking about her own economic vision and how it differs from Biden’s in order to keep her base energized. Black voters make up about a third of the electorate in Georgia, a state Biden won by less than 12,000 votes almost four years ago. The vice president needs Black voters to turn out in large numbers to recapture Georgia’s 16 electoral college votes.
“Her plan to lower housing costs is the best I’ve ever seen from a national candidate ever,” Myrick said. “No president has ever proposed anything like it. She just has to sell that idea on Tuesday and make it clear this is what she intends to do.”
