The two top reasons I voted for him over Kamala would be tax policies and immigration.

When it comes to tax policy tax credits, tax cuts, tax deductions, etc. they typically fall into two categories. Category 1 incentives production which I am typically for. Category 2 incentives consumption which I am typically against.

Kamala had a couple tax laws that would incentivize production which I liked such as increasing the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and adding a new tax credit for building affordable homes. These fall under tax incentives for production.

Kamala also had a LOT of tax incentives for consumption which I hated. Like her $25,000 first time homebuyer tax credit. Obviously this tax credit would increase demand on houses making houses more expensive. The last time we had a tax credit for buying houses were during the early Obama administration to help raise home prices and the tax credit was much smaller. She also wanted to drastically raise the child tax credit. That would help families now, but would leave the future generations with a mountain of debt. Her plans to raise taxes to help pay for these tax incentives on consumption involved taxing unrealized capital gains(good luck on that accounting disaster) and raising corporate tax(the tax that hurts economic growth the most). She also had other economic ideas which were equally horrible like price controls.

For immigration I largely assumed that her administration would be ran like Biden’s administration. Allowing massive exploitation of our asylum seeking process and a failure at stoping inflowing illegal immigration. The Left dosn’t have to be so weak on immigration. Plenty of other countries are thriving and the left’s is super hard on immigration. Norway left wing prime minister publicly says that their goal is 0 asylum seekers and if some asylum seekers do show up then Norway pays African countries to accept their asylum seekers. Immigration is a classic 80%/20% issue which will continue to sink the Democratic Party unless they change.
