The economics of a Harris Wall's ticket.

From Marketplace, I'm Sabrie Benashore, in for David Brancaccio.

More now on Vice President Kamil Harris's decision to pick Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in

this year's presidential election. If the Harris Wall's ticket wins this

November, what might that mean for the economy? What does walls bring to the

table economically? We are joined now by

Eric Zwick, professor of economics and finance at the University of Chicago. Welcome.

Thanks very much. So let's start with a clip of Vice President Harris introducing her running mate,

Minnesota Governor, and former Representative Tim Walls.

And Tim Walz and I, we agree about many things including when our middle class is strong America is strong.

So when it comes to economic policy, how much continuity do you expect to see between a Biden

Harris administration and a Harris-Walls administration.

I expect a fair amount of continuity on policies when the agenda is the same and then as the agenda changes we might see different

policy focuses so for instance on tax policy or on housing or something like that.

For now though the agendas are kind of identical?

As far as I can tell I think that we're still waiting to see more articulation of specific

economic policy

as governor of Minnesota walls helped see through policies on stronger labor

protections policies to reduce poverty universal free meals at school, paid family leave,

a statewide child tax credit.

Is that a reflection of specific policies

Vice President Kamla Harris plans to push at the federal level?
