Summary
PORTLAND (WGME) – Some small business owners in Maine are touting Vice President Kamala Harris' plan for small businesses, which former President Donald Trump says would "destroy our small business economy."
During a virtual Harris rally Friday, they said there were 19 million new small business applications during the Biden-Harris administration, saying it was because the administration made sure money was there for it.
They also touted the vice president's new plan for up to $50,000 in tax credits for new small businesses and her goal of getting 25 million new small business applications in her first term.
Also read: "She's a champion for small businesses, and I believe her vision will help distilleries like mine and small businesses across Maine flourish," Sam Pierce of Three of Strong Spirits said.
Trump responded to the Harris plan Thursday with a video, writing in all caps, "COMRADE KAMALA'S SMALL BUSINESS 'PLAN' WOULD DESTROY OUR SMALL BUSINESS ECONOMY..." but he doesn't say how.
