WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris is endorsing trillions of dollars in new tax revenues to fund her new policy plans, and her campaign is attacking Donald Trump for failing to outline how he’d pay for the multitrillion-dollar agenda he’s campaigning on.
Harris campaign spokesperson James Singer labeled Trump’s agenda “an inflation and deficit bomb” in a statement to NBC News, sparking a Trump campaign response blaming her for a “Biden-Harris inflation tax.”

According to nonpartisan estimates, Harris is proposing to spend about $2 trillion and raise $5 trillion in tax revenues over a decade. Trump is calling for about $5 trillion in tax breaks and spending while raising less than $3 trillion in revenue through tariffs.
“Hands down, VP Harris is being much more fiscally disciplined than President Trump,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics.
