Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she will unveil her economic policy platform next week, with a primary focus on addressing inflation. Speaking in Phoenix before an evening rally in Las Vegas, Harris emphasized that her upcoming plan will center on reducing costs and bolstering the economy.
The economy has emerged as a pivotal concern for voters, as indicated by a recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. The poll revealed a close divide, with 51% of respondents expressing more trust in Donald Trump's ability to manage the economy compared to 48% for Harris.
Addressing questions regarding the Federal Reserve's autonomy, Harris affirmed her commitment to non-interference in the Fed's decision-making processes. She underscored the importance of the Fed's independence, stating unequivocally that she would not meddle in its determinations if elected president.
Responding to queries about potential recession fears, Harris acknowledged recent market fluctuations but expressed optimism about the situation stabilizing. She assured the public that she receives updates on Fed decisions concurrently with the general populace, indicating a hands-off approach to monetary policy.
