Vice President Kamala Harris is leaning into the economy and abortion rights in some of her last advertisements before Election Day, as her closing message comes into focus. One of two new ads that are set to air this week in the seven battleground states includes a direct-to-camera appearance by Harris, where she says if elected, former President Donald Trump will "wake up every day and stew over his enemies list."

"Next January, one of us will be president… If I am president, I will be focused on my to-do list for you, the American people," Harris says in the ad, "Lists," which was obtained first by CBS News. Harris then ticks through some of her economic proposals to cut everyday costs, such as enacting a federal ban on price gouging and incentives to make housing more affordable.

The ads will air on broadcast and cable TV programming and are part of the $370 million ad buy that the Harris campaign announced in August, which began on Labor Day and will run through Election Day.

The focus on the economy comes as Harris has been more competitive with Trump in terms of polling on the issue. An October CBS News poll showed Harris gained 5 points from August in terms of voters who believe her policies would make them financially better off.

such tenacity is a real leadership quality. In contrast, drump is looking more and more looney, more and more orange. He doesn't look at all healthy or in touch with reality.
