Vice President Harris plans to launch the rollout of her economic agenda with a Friday speech in North Carolina that will emphasize efforts to lower costs for consumers.
Vice President Harris is set to roll out key components of her economic agenda as the Democrat presidential nominee in a speech in North Carolina on Friday, which is expected to emphasize plans to lower the prices of groceries, housing and health care, her advisers told Reuters.
Harris' economic platform closely mirrors President Biden's and aims to appeal to the middle class, with her advisers noting that they plan to pay special attention to aspects of the plan that appeal to voters in battleground states. "Same values, different vision," one aide said in describing Harris' economic agenda in relation to Biden's. "She's not moving far away from him on substance. She will highlight the ones that matter most to her.
Her advisers also said Harris no longer supports policies such as a fracking ban and Medicare for All that comprised part of the platform for her short-lived 2020 presidential bid and that she supported while serving in the U.S. Senate. The Harris campaign said she will try to draw contrasts with her Republican opponent, former President Trump, on tax policy. Trump implemented tax cuts in 2017, some of which are set to expire next year.
