40% : Harris hammered Trump on trade, pointing out that his tariff policy would amount to "a 20% national sales tax on everything you buy that is imported.
28% : After months of Trump's putting Democrats on the back foot about the economy, she took the fight to the GOP with a powerful explanation of how four years of a "Trump sales tax" would be disastrous for people's bank accounts.
22% : As a growing number of his former Cabinet officials and military leaders have made clear over the past weeks, Trump poses a clear and present danger to our country's most fundamental democratic safeguards.
