Vice President Kamala Harris has outlined her plans to support the middle class if she were to be elected to the White House, positioning her policies in contrast to those of former President Donald Trump. Harris has made it clear that her top priority upon assuming office would be to address the rising prices faced by Americans, combat illegal price gouging by large corporations, tackle unfair rent hikes by corporate landlords, and cap the costs of prescription drugs for all citizens.
In a direct critique of Trump, Harris accused the former president of wanting to regress the nation and harm the middle class through initiatives like Project 2025. Trump has distanced himself from this conservative agenda, despite six of his former Cabinet secretaries being involved in its creation and publication by the Heritage Foundation.
Harris further warned that a Trump presidency would likely result in tax breaks for major corporations and the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act. She emphasized her commitment to prioritizing the needs of the middle class and working families, asserting that a strong middle class is essential for a strong America.
