Noble winner economists call Kamala Harris' economic plan 'vastly superior', unhappy with Trump's

Over 50 per cent of the living Noble Prize winners of the US have called the economic plan of the Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris "vastly superior."

A letter signed by 23 Noble prize-winning economists said Harris' agenda is far better than what is laid by the Republican nominee Donald Trump.

The letter obtained by CNN read, "While each of us has different views on the particulars of various economic policies, we believe that, overall, Harris’ economic agenda will improve our nation’s health, investment, sustainability, resilience, employment opportunities, and fairness and be vastly superior to the counterproductive economic agenda of Donald Trump.”

The letter comes just two weeks before the US elections and could serve in favour of Harris as one thing that US voters ranked as the most important issue in the country was the economy.

According to the report by CNN, multiple surveys revealed that voters struggle with inflation in the country.

The letter marks the second such incident where Noble Prize-winners signed a letter talking about the US presidential election 2024.

In June, 15 Nobel winners signed a letter highlighting that a second Trump term will have a "destabilising effect" on America's economy.

That time, the former US president criticised the letter and called all the signatories "worthless out of touch."

The new letter called Trump's tariff and tax policies "inflationary" and claimed that there are chances they will balloon the federal deficit (total national debt of the US).

Despite all the latest warnings, the Republican remains sturdy on his tariff plans as in an interview at the Economic Club of Chicago, he said his tariff plans would “have a massive effect, a positive effect.”

“The most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff. It’s my favourite word,” Trump added.
