Kamala Harris unveiled plans for a federal ban on food and grocery “price gouging,” a tax credit that would provide $6,000 per child to families for the first year of a baby’s life, and up to $25,000 toward a down payment for first-time homeowners — populist proposals the vice president has embraced since becoming the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.
“When I am elected president, I will make it a top priority to bring down costs and increase economic security for all Americans,” Harris said Friday during a campaign event.
In her first speech on economic policy, Harris outlined her proposals, including cutting taxes for more than 100 million middle-class and lower-income Americans.
Her speech addressed plans to combat rising grocery and housing prices — key concerns for voters. She addressed supporters at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, a battleground state that she and former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, are vying to win in the November presidential election.
