I feel like one of the most under-covered issues this cycle is the fact that the TCJA is going to expire.

I have wondered about the strategic merits of Harris saying your last paragraph somewhat explicitly. If you start from the premise that many undecided voters are double haters or at least double skeptics, I wonder if Harris has ground to gain by explicitly saying 1) I will likely not have a Dem trifecta, and therefore will be an honest bipartisan broker with Republicans in Congress to reach responsible oversight of America's finances and 2) DJT would not have to do so and would destroy our fiscal standing.

Harris is not an Obama level communicator (few are) but I always think pols leave stuff on the table by not saying more complex things for fear of lack of understanding. Harris should workshop how to explain in simplest terms why 2024 =/ 2017 economic conditions and why Trump's plans now would destroy the economy not save it.
