Kamala Harris Raises $27 Million in NYC Fundraiser, Challenges Trump to Another Debate

Vice President Kamala Harris raised a whopping $27 million at a packed fundraiser in New York City on Sunday, her largest fundraising haul since becoming Biden's running mate. The event, held at the opulent Cipriani Wall Street, drew a large crowd who heard Harris criticize former President Donald Trump for refusing to debate her again.

**"My opponent seems to be looking for an excuse," Harris told the crowd. "I feel very strongly that we owe it to the American people, to the voters, to meet once more before Election Day."

Trump has rejected more debates, saying Saturday that “it's just too late.” But Harris is pushing for another debate, saying, “We have more to discuss.”

Harris is also expected to deliver a speech this week outlining her economic vision, aiming to address the high cost of living and inflation that are top concerns for voters.

"I grew up a middle-class kid and I will never forget where I came from," she said, highlighting her commitment to addressing economic challenges faced by everyday Americans.

The economic issue is particularly important in this election as voters grapple with rising prices. While Harris has been criticized for not releasing detailed policy proposals, she has outlined some key points of her economic agenda, including middle-class tax cuts and tax hikes for the wealthy, and an end to taxes on tipped wages for low- and middle-income taxpayers.

However, a recent poll suggests that neither Harris nor Trump has a decisive edge with the public on the economy, indicating that the economic debate remains a key battleground in the upcoming election.
