Trump Adviser Steve Moore Says American Public Is ‘Worried’ About Harris Agenda As Stock Market Plummets

Trump campaign economic adviser Steve Moore said on Monday that Wall Street and the American public are “worried” about Vice President Kamala Harris’ agenda as the U.S. stock markets plummeted at the beginning of trading.

The U.S. stock market had its worst opening since 2021 on Monday as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 dropped as much as 3% and 3.4% after a Friday jobs report revealed that the unemployment rate climbed to 4.3%. Moore said the 1,000 point drop in the market is raising major political concerns regarding Harris’ candidacy.

“I know this is a political thing to say, but in the last two weeks, you’ve seen Kamala really rising in the polls, now it’s a tied race. I think a lot of people on Wall Street and Sandra, you cover this a lot, I think people are a little worried about the agenda she would bring into the White House,” Moore said.

Moore said Harris’ plan to raise the capital gains tax and her embrace of President Joe Biden’s economic policies will negatively impact her in the election.

Moore addressed Republican nominee Donald Trump’s branding the jobs report as the “Kamala Economic Crash” during a Saturday rally, where he said that the stock market could fall in a similar way to the Stock Market Crash of 1929.

“Kamala’s been touting the economy, and Biden has, because the first half of this year, the economy did pretty well,” Moore said. “And now we’re just starting to see that thing drift away. So look, I do think elections are pocketbook elections, right, they’re people sitting around the kitchen table thinking, ‘am I feeling better today than I was four years ago?’ And when you combine the high inflation now with a labor market that’s really softening, I think it puts Kamala Harris in a tough position.”
