Summary
On Friday, Vice President Kamala Harris announced a set of economic policy plans at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina. Those proposals included an expanded Child Tax Credit, financial assistance for first-time homebuyers, cutting regulations to boost homebuilding, and a federal ban on price gouging on food. The price gouging plan in particular represents one of Harris’s most notable policy ideas since she became the Democratic nominee for president, and it has attracted scrutiny and interest from across the political spectrum.
