Trump lays out job and tax proposals – and attacks Harris, immigrants in speech at Georgia rally
Trump on the campaign trail in swing state Pennsylvania

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump gave a formal speech Tuesday on plans to prevent the outsourcing of American jobs – and also attacked Vice President Kamala Harris and immigrants across the country.
During an event in Georgia, a key battleground state, Trump said he would try to have foreign companies move jobs into the U.S. by offering lower taxes, fewer regulations, cheaper energy and better access to American markets.
“For years, we watched other countries steal our jobs,” Trump said during the speech at a civic center in Savannah, Georgia. “Now we are going to be going after their jobs.”
In the meantime, Trump again threatened to put tariffs on products from companies that move U.S. jobs overseas, though he did not provide many specifics about his economic promises.
Throughout the 85-minute speech, Trump veered into personal and political attacks on Harris. That included accusing her of trying to institute communism or Marxism in the U.S., which she has never called for, and criticizing her interviews with Oprah Winfrey and others. He also zeroed in on her performance on the debate stage earlier this month and told the crowd of a few thousand supporters that the vice president is “grossly incompetent.”
He also made dark claims that “our country is dying.”
The policy-versus-personal-attacks tension is both a feature and a bug of the Trump campaign, particularly since Harris joined the contest. The former president’s aides and allies, including several GOP members of Congress, have urged Trump to stick to the issues, but Trump said he needs to stay on the attack.
As Trump attacked President Joe Biden and Harris’ handling of the southern border, he also issued several unfounded complaints about the number of migrants in small and medium-sized cities. Attacks against immigrants are nothing new for Trump on the campaign trail, but the former president has faced major backlash in recent weeks for promoting a false conspiracy during his debate against Harris that migrants in Springfield, Ohio, have eaten people’s pets.
“They’re coming from all over the world. What they’re doing to the fabric, to the guts of our country. It’s not even believable. And you see what’s going on,” Trump said.
Georgia is a pivotal swing state in 2024 that could ultimately decide the election. A Real Clear Politics polling average of Georgia surveys finds Trump 2.1 percentage points ahead of Harris. Biden picked up the Peach State in 2020.
Democratic critics on Tuesday described Trump’s in-sourcing and out-sourcing proposals as pie-in-in-the-sky. They also said that other economic plans, including tax cuts on tips, overtime and Social Security, as well as caps on credit card interest, will trigger more inflation and explode the budget deficit.

“He says things off the top of his head that tend to often be ridiculous, if not insane,” said businessman Mark Cuban in a video put out by the Harris campaign.
Robert Reich, the labor secretary for former President Bill Clinton, also condemned Trump’s tariff proposals, which tend to target companies in politically important states. He threatened John Deere during a Monday meeting of farmers in Pennsylvania, and has made similar threats about automakers in Michigan.
Referring to the comments about John Deere, Reich said “these tariffs will end up being paid by farmers … John Deere deserves to be called out for its layoffs, but Trump has helped cultivate corporate greed.”
Trump often argues on the campaign trail that his economic plans are designed to encourage businesses to hire Americans and make products in the U.S. – as well as driving a harder bargain against America’s competitors around the world. Still, Trump’s tariff calls have also drawn opposition from some Republicans, including Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
“I’m not a fan of tariffs,” McConnell said Tuesday. “They raise the prices for American consumers.”

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Storm activity is expected to fire up around midday, starting inland from the Gulf sea breeze. From there, storms will track eastward at 20-25 mph, and that faster movement is actually good news for flooding concerns.
Some minor, temporary flooding is possible through tonight, especially in low-lying areas and spots that typically flood during heavy rain events.
The best chances for stronger storms and heavier rainfall will be north and near I-10 during the afternoon and evening hours.
The Weather Prediction Center has placed roughly the northern two-thirds of the area under a marginal risk of excessive rainfall.
What to expect through the night
Rain chances will stay elevated into the evening but should taper off after midnight. However, inland Northeast Florida could see a late round of showers or storms develop due to enhanced west coast sea breeze.
Gusty winds and frequent lightning can’t be ruled out. Always have your indoor plan ready to go for shelter access.
Cooler temperatures, patchy fog round out the forecast
High temperatures will run below average, topping out in the mid-to-upper 80s. Overnight lows will range from the upper 60s to near 70 degrees across inland Southeast Georgia, with mid-70s expected closer to the Atlantic coast.
Patchy fog is expected early this morning and again Sunday morning. Brief periods of dense fog are possible, so drivers should use caution on the roads during those early morning hours.

Georgia baseball will resume its NCAA Athens Regional game with Long Island at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, after persistent rain—heavy at times—forced the suspension of the game.
The Bulldogs have a commanding 15-1 lead with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth.
The teams and some fans waited out a delay that started 7:14 p.m.
The game was suspended officially at 9:06 p.m. Long Island players were already grabbing their equipment in the dugout to depart for the team hotel before then.
The winner of Georgia-LIU will play No. 3 seed Liberty Saturday in the double-elimination tournament in a game scheduled for 5 p.m.
The loser will play No. 2 seed Boston College at noon.
The No. 3 national seed Bulldogs hit six homers before the game was delayed due to heavy rain.
There was a 53 percent chance of rain at 9 a.m. Saturday, according to weather.com, decreasing to 17 percent at 11 a.m., but there’s a threat of storms in the afternoon.
