Democratic nominee to draw contrast with Trump on tax and tariffs when she lays out details on Friday, aides say

Kamala Harris will announce plans to tackle high grocery costs by targeting corporations in the food and grocery industry, as she previews her economic agenda ahead of the November election.

She will also tackle prescription drug and housing costs, drawing a contrast with Trump on tariffs and taxes, according to a Harris campaign statement.

Harris is expected to lay out some details of her economic plan in a speech in North Carolina on Friday.

“Same values, different vision,” said one aide, describing how Harris’s economic agenda will compare with that of Joe Biden, who stepped aside as the Democratic presidential candidate last month.

    There is a culture war that needs to be won before a platform can successfully run on all Progressive policies. As it stands now the faintest wiff of socialism causes knee-jerk ‘not mah BBQ!’ reactions and would cause a Conservative run in congress. How’d that look for progress, hmm?

    Expecting progress to be instantaneous and comprehensive to your exact particular specifications is foolish unrealistic and counterproductive to the extent this actually appears to be your intent.

      my grandfather was that told that same story his whole childhood and he repeated it his son who repeated it to me and am not repeating it to my kids

      instantaneous progress does not always happen but in hundred years something should be getting done not reversing

      Democrats have averted progress in lieu of not being instantaneous and it is a complete load of horse shit kind of excuse
