The Trump 2020 reelection campaign released a list of “core priorities” for a second term that includes adding 10 million jobs in 10 months, developing a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year, “return to normal in 2021,” and ending sanctuary cities. The campaign released the agenda Sunday evening on the eve of the Republican National Convention under the banner of “Fighting for You!” to build on President Trump’s “boundless optimism and certainty in America’s greatness.” The priorities do not go into detail, but the statement issued by the campaign said Trump will “further illuminate” the plans during his acceptance speech on Thursday and on the campaign trail. The campaign laid out an aggressive jobs program intended to respond to the business closures and jobless rate caused by the coronavirus pandemic. It calls for creating 10 million new jobs in 10 months and 1 million new small businesses, tax cuts to boost take-home pay, expand Opportunity Zones and initiate “made in America” tax credits. It also aims to wipe out the coronavirus that has killed more than 177,000 Americans and infected more than 5 million. The priorities include developing a vaccine by the end of 2020, a “return to normal” next year, supply “critical medicines and supplies” for healthcare workers and refill stockpiles in readiness for a future pandemic.
