00:00Both in terms of the presidential race and also in the Senate and the House of Representatives.

00:07Let's go and see what were some of the key issues for the two candidates in this electoral

00:14race during the campaign.

00:15Let's see.

00:18Kamala Harris and Donald Trump present sharply contrasting visions for the U.S. across critical

00:35issues like the economy, abortion, democracy, immigration, foreign policy, and climate change.

00:42Harris focuses on middle-class support aiming to combat inflation through housing initiatives,

00:48tax cuts for low-income families, and higher tariffs on Chinese imports to boost domestic

00:54competitiveness.

00:55On the other hand, Trump advocates reduction of energy costs through increasing drilling

01:01and deregulation, extending his 2017 tax cuts, and imposing significant tariffs on imports.

01:10Harris strongly supports reproductive rights, aiming to restore Roe v. Wade protections

01:16and support access to contraceptives and in vitro fertilization.

01:21Trump, on the other hand, claims that abortion decisions should be left to the states, promising

01:27not to sign a national ban, and has suggested his government would take care of IVF treatment

01:34costs.

01:38In terms of democracy, Harris views Trump as a threat, advocating voting rights legislation

01:44and the potential elimination of the filibuster to pass abortion rights.

01:49For his part, Trump continues to deny the legitimacy of the 2020 election results, threatening

01:56to use the justice system against political opponents.

02:00He also supports pardoning the January 6th defendants.

02:08In regards to immigration, a key issue on this election, the Democrat proposes stricter

02:13penalties for illegal crossing, while advocating comprehensive immigration reforms and pathways

02:20to citizenship, while Trump promises aggressive deportation and the restatement of controversial

02:27policy from his first term, alongside a harsh stance against undocumented immigrants.

02:37Harris' foreign policy views align with Biden's approach of reinforcing global alliances

02:43and showing strong support for Ukraine against Russia.

02:47For his part, Trump is skeptical of alliances like NATO and votes to re-evaluate U.S. support

02:54for Ukraine and promotes a hard-line stance against China.

03:02Now in climate and energy, Harris acknowledges human-caused climate change and supports significant

03:09investment in renewable energy, though she was moderate her stance on some progressive

03:15initiatives.

03:16In this regard, Trump dismisses climate science and advocates deregulation and fossil fuel

03:22expansion, promoting the so-called drill baby drill mentality.

03:30Okay, so those were some of the key points from both sides.

03:38We have analyzed a lot of these things, we had a lot of the rhetorics that
