the subject of a wide ranging exclusive interview, her first since the debate on the biggest issue in voters minds the economy. when we talk about bringing down prices and making life more affordable for people, what are 1 or 2 specific things you have in mind for that? >> and creating opportunity for people, for example, to start a small business. so my opportunity economy plan includes giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction to start their small business. it used to be $5,000. nobody can start a small business with $5,000. >> harris also touted the plan to incentivize the construction of 3 million new homes across america and tax credits of up to $25,000 to help first time homebuyers afford them. on crime and guns specifically, i want to talk about your values on this issue when it comes to gun ownership, where do you draw the line in america on gun ownership and gun use? >> brian, i am a gun owner and

tim walz, my running mate, is also a gun owner. we're not taking anybody's guns away. i support the second amendment and i support reasonable gun safety laws. >> harris supports an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. but here, in part of the state where trump's signs are almost omnipresent. we also talked about her opponent and his support. i wonder how you distill it. what do you understand his appeal to be, and how do you speak to his voters? or maybe people who just share his values but are open to something else? >> in my heart, i know in my soul i know that the vast majority of us as americans have so much more in common than what separates us most americans want a leader who brings us together as americans and not someone who professes to be a leader, who is trying to have us point our fingers at each other. i think people are exhausted with that approach to be honest with you. >> as for her approach, spending

the next several weeks drawing a contrast with her opponent and even her current boss, joe biden. >> i offer a new generation of leadership. my focus is very much on what we need to do over the next ten, 20 years to catch up to the 21st century. >> that was brian taff reporting. today, harris will deliver remarks at the congressional black caucus legislative conference in washington, dc. meanwhile, former president donald trump was in the bay area to raise money for his campaign along the peninsula. our abc seven team saw his motorcade as it rolled up to the event in woodside. dozens of his supporters lined the streets, along with a small group of democratic supporters. >> we are being hoodwinked and we are doing it at the cost of the future. our our current inflationary process has ruined our economy in three and a half years. i just hope that we could agree to disagree respectfully,
