Former president Donald Trump spoke Thursday at the Economic Club of New York, recounting accomplishments of his administration and taking repeated shots at Vice President Kamala Harris, at one point calling her “a Marxist.” During the speech, Trump endorsed a government spending commission that could give Elon Musk broad responsibilities for auditing federal spending and regulations. Trump appeared remotely later before a gathering in Las Vegas of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Harris headed to Pittsburgh, where aides say she will spend several days preparing for Tuesday’s presidential debate with Trump.
