Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump arrives to speak about the economy during a campaign event in Potterville, Mich., on Aug. 29, 2024.Former President Donald Trump says that, if he wins a second term, he wants to make IVF treatment free for families, but did not detail how he would fund it or how it would work.
IVF treatments are notoriously expensive, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars for a single round. He also said that new parents will be allowed to deduct expenses for caring for newborns from their taxes.The decision is expected to be a major motivator for Democrats this November. Trump’s first stop was Potterville, Michigan, near the state capital of Lansing, where he railed against the Biden administration over inflation in the most dramatic terms, accusing Harris and President Joe Biden of having presided over “an economic reign of terror” and “committing one financial atrocity after another.”
Later, he will visit La Crosse, Wisconsin, for a town hall moderated by former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who endorsed him in Detroit. It will be Trump’s first visit to Wisconsin since the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which ended three days before Biden dropped out of the race and made way for Harris.
The visits come after Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, sat down for their first major television interview of their presidential campaign as the duo travels in southeast Georgia on a bus tour.
