During an event in North Carolina, Vice President Kamala Harris outlined part of her economic agenda focusing on battling inflation and helping middle-class Americans. She plans to increase wages, assist small business owners, and fight poverty with more detailed proposals to come. Harris’s initial proposals include a federal ban on price gouging for food and groceries, tax credits for new parents and lower-income workers, and offering up to $25,000 to first-time homebuyers for down payments. She also aims to end America’s housing shortage by building three million new affordable homes and rentals for working and middle-class Americans. Harris emphasized her middle-class background, understanding the struggles faced by many Americans based on her personal experiences. She criticized President Trump’s economic policies, labeling his proposed tariffs as a “national sales tax” that would raise prices for consumers. Trump had previously attacked Harris’s proposed price controls as “socialist,” but she defended her plans as necessary to reduce costs for middle-class families. Overall, Harris aims to address the economic challenges facing Americans by implementing policies that would benefit the middle class and working families if she were to win the White House in November.
