Sir John Key believes Donald Trump is likely to win the upcoming US election. In an interview, he explained his views on the 2024 presidential race. He is interested in US politics and thinks Trump is the best candidate for the economy.
Key, who is a director at a California tech company and owns a home in Hawaii, said that Trump’s policies focus on “America First.” He believes Trump would reduce regulations, lower taxes, and support market-driven solutions. In contrast, he sees Vice President Kamala Harris as too left-wing and aligned with Senator Bernie Sanders.
Key stated that before Harris became the Democratic nominee, Trump would have easily won. He thinks Harris has shifted the Democrats’ momentum back in their favor, but believes that if Trump focuses on the economy in debates, he could still win.
Key is concerned about Trump’s proposed tariffs on imports, especially from China, which could drastically affect American consumers. He argues that the tariffs would not be paid by China but by American households, potentially lowering their living standards.
Harris’s campaign promises include healthcare benefits, support for new parents, and lower taxes for small businesses, while aiming for higher taxes on big corporations. Key believes her policies could hurt the US economic innovation and increase regulations.
Although Key finds Trump flawed, he recognizes that many Americans feel ignored and unfairly treated, which drives support for him. With early voting starting, the election outcome will soon reveal if Sir John Key’s prediction about Trump is correct.
