McCarthy argues Harris does not understand ‘the challenge’ of small businesses

Published October 8, 2024 4:39pm ET



Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy criticized Vice President Kamala Harris’s plan for small businesses that she was pressed on during her recent interview with CBS News’s 60 Minutes.

Harris was asked about the various tax benefits she would give to people should she become president, including her proposed tax deduction of up to $50,000 for those starting a small business. The vice president contended she wanted to make sure the richest people in the United States “pay their fair share in taxes,” prompting McCarthy to argue that Harris wants to “harm” people when they start a small business.
