This week's small business tour is the Harris campaign's latest effort to quell Trump's gains.
Harris is adopting that argument for her own campaign, working to draw a similar contrast with her Republican opponent.
"Vice President Harris has proven that she will be a champion for small business," Richard Garcia, the Harris campaign's small business engagement director, wrote in a statement Tuesday.
Over the next week, the Harris campaign will extend that pitch specifically to small businesses in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
So far, Harris has proposed giving small businesses a $50,000 tax deduction for their startup expenses, a tenfold expansion from the current $5,000 deduction.
