Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson and today is Monday August 26th of

2024. This is the excerpt. Today we discuss some of the major issues the next president will face.

Plus Kamla Harris continues her fundraising role and we hear about

conservatives who are in on renewable energy.

What issues will the next president have to tackle?

From foreign policy to decisions on the Supreme Court, I caught up with USA Today senior national

political correspondent Sarah D. Wire to discuss. Sarah, thanks for

wrapping on. Thanks for having me. So the conventions are behind us, meaning

we're now into the final stretch run of this election cycle.

And he took the time, Sarah, to look at some of the big issues that the next president will likely have on their plate next year.

Let's run through a few of these starting with Trump era tax cuts.

The 2017 tax cuts took a lot of money out of what the government normally takes it.

We're talking trillions of dollars.

And so Congress and the next president gets to decide here in 2025

whether to extend those tax cuts or let them end.

Now, for the average American, you're probably not going to notice much of a difference

in your tax returns and what you owe.

Might even get more money back from the government or have to pay less. But what really it comes down to is how much money the government has to function. And that $2 trillion can go to a lot of places.

It can go to Social Security or immigration or

aid to Gaza or Ukraine.
