Vice President Kamala Harris made a significant announcement during her visit to Dottie’s Market, a Black-owned business in Savannah, Georgia. The vice president revealed plans to introduce a tax credit proposal next week aimed at supporting startup business ventures.
Harris, who is currently on a bus tour through the southern part of the state, emphasized the importance of investing in and growing small businesses. She expressed her commitment to providing support for startups and small businesses as they embark on their entrepreneurial journeys.
Highlighting the vital role of small businesses in the American economy, Harris noted that half of the working population in the country is either involved in owning, running, or working in a small business. She underscored the significance of strengthening the economy and empowering individuals to pursue their ambitions and dreams through initiatives like the proposed tax credit.
During her visit to Dottie’s Market, Harris was warmly welcomed with loud cheers from employees and shoppers. She engaged in conversations with staff and customers as she toured the local market. Democratic Rep. Nikema Williams and Savannah Mayor Van Johnson accompanied the vice president on her visit, underscoring the collaborative effort to support small businesses in the community.
Following her stop at Dottie’s Market, Harris is scheduled to make one more visit as part of her bus tour before heading to a rally at Enmarket Arena in Savannah later tonight. The vice president's focus on promoting entrepreneurship and economic growth through targeted initiatives like the upcoming tax credit proposal reflects the administration's commitment to supporting small businesses and fostering innovation.
