First published September 2024

The Association for Enterprise Opportunity (AEO) released a comprehensive economic policy brief comparing the small business initiatives of the two leading U.S. presidential candidates: Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. The report provides an in-depth analysis of their proposed economic policies, with a focus on the impact these policies may have on small businesses, particularly those in underserved communities.

The policy brief highlights the contrasts between Harris’s small business-focused tax reforms and regulatory relief, and Trump’s broader corporate tax cuts and deregulatory agenda. Both candidates present different strategies to promote economic growth, and AEO’s report provides critical insights into how these policies could affect entrepreneurs.
