Harris, Trump Unveil Contrasting Economic Plans

Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled a comprehensive economic agenda focused on addressing corporate price gouging in the grocery sector, lowering housing costs, and easing financial burdens for American families. Harris proposes a federal ban on price gouging in groceries, increased authority for state attorneys general and the FTC, and substantial support for first-time homebuyers, including a $25,000 down payment assistance. Critics, including economists and Republican adversaries, argue her policies could worsen inflation and increase national debt. Despite this, Harris's plans have garnered support from progressives and are seen as a strategy to strengthen the middle class. Polls indicate Harris has a lead over Donald Trump in several key battleground states, suggesting her economic proposals resonate with voters. Both Harris and Trump aim to appeal to working-class voters with promises to lower costs and eliminate federal taxes on tips.
