Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday that she will deliver a speech later this week aimed at laying out her “vision” for the economy.
“I’m going to be giving a speech this week … to outline my vision for the economy,” she told reporters in Washington, DC. “I’ve named it an opportunity economy, which really, in short form, is about what we can do more to invest in the aspirations, the ambitions, the dreams of the American people while addressing the challenges that they face — whether it be the high price of groceries or the difficulty in being able to acquire home ownership.”
Since entering the race, Harris has unveiled economic proposals focused on making housing, groceries, child-rearing and prescription drugs more affordable. And earlier this month, she added tax relief for small businesses to her economic policy platform.
Many of the proposals build upon efforts the Biden administration has already unveiled.
Harris will also travel to blue wall and Sun Belt states this week as she continues her aggressive campaign schedule, according to a campaign official.
