US presidential candidate Kamala Harris laid out her economic policy course in a campaign speech. The Democrat announced tax cuts for families and middle- and low-income Americans – and spoke about her own experiences.
During her appearance in the politically contentious state of North Carolina, the incumbent vice president also promised other measures aimed at easing the burden, especially on the middle class, if elected president.
As president, Harris plans to introduce a bill to ban food overpricing nationwide. She also pledged to offer new homebuyers a $25,000 down payment. This is a personal concern for her, as she remembers how long it took her mother to save for a house.
Projects require electoral success
Many of their projects require approval from Congress, whose composition and majority will also be voted on in the Nov. 5 elections. Harris did not provide details about how she planned to finance the projects.
“Too many people, no matter how hard they work, feel like it’s hard to get ahead,” the vice president said in her speech. She praised the measures and improvements that she and US President Joe Biden had implemented, but acknowledged that many Americans had not yet felt them in their daily lives.
As president, Harris wanted to focus on the middle class, “their economic security, stability and dignity.”
Trump takes action against Harris
During his election campaign, Republican Donald Trump repeatedly blamed Biden and Harris for the high prices in the US. “If you think things are expensive now, things will be a hundred times WORSE after Kamala is president for four years,” the presidential candidate wrote on his online platform Truth Social after Harris’ speech. If the Democrat maintains “her communist price ceilings,” there will be hunger and poverty, Trump said. America will never recover from this.
