NORTH HAMPTON — Vice President Kamala Harris spoke Wednesday at Throwback Brewery at Hobbs Farm, appearing in New Hampshire as the Democratic presidential nominee for the first time.
Harris last visited the Seacoast in February 2019, drawing an overflow crowd to Portsmouth's South Church as a candidate in the New Hampshire presidential primary.
She returned as the favorite to win the state, leading former president Donald Trump by seven points in the two latest New Hampshire polls. The state's four electoral college votes could be important in what is expected to be a tight election in November.
Here are highlights from her appearance:
Small Businesses Plan
Harris said she intends to lower the cost of starting a small business and make access to capital easier for everyday Americans by expanding the tax deduction for start ups to $50,000.
"It's essentially a tax cut for starting a small business," she said.
