One moment foreshadowed Harris' loss

And Trump tells NBC News there is 'no price tag' for his deportation plan

SPECIAL EDITION Friday, Nov. 08, 2024 One moment in the presidential debate foreshadowed Kamala Harris' loss By Helaine Olen When we look back on it, I suspect we'll see the seeds of Vice President Kamala Harris' loss in her presidential debate with then- candidate Donald Trump. Yes, Trump came across as angry and was hardly coherent. But Harris, while trying to buttress her economic bona fides, cited investment bank Goldman Sachs' support for her financial plans as a reason to vote for her and not Trump.   Goldman Sachs? The investment bank described by journalist Matt Taibbi as "a vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity" because of how it profited royally off the housing and financial crisis of the late aughts? Ten million Americans lost their homes to foreclosure, the banks and their executives were infamously bailed out, but Harris cited Goldman Sachs' support of her (as well as Trump's alma mater, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania) in an attempt to allay the public's economic worries.     This is a preview of Helaine Olen's latest article.
