Harris sets economic vision at DNC

Vice President Kamala Harris will deliver her economic vision at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, aiming to solidify support from her base and appeal to undecided voters. Harris faces challenges in addressing the insolvency of the Social Security trust fund and the future of entitlements.

She seeks to counter criticism of her economic agenda, touting plans to address grocery price gouging, boost home construction, and expand child tax credits. Despite concerns of stoking inflation, overall economic trends may provide support for her ambitions heading into the campaign season.

Harris will face tough competition in key swing states, as the election could be decided by as few as 44,000 votes. The campaign also emphasizes the importance of engaging with the Latino community, as recent survey results show the need to overcome voter apathy and lack of knowledge about her program.

Former President Barack Obama has endorsed Harris, providing advice and support to her campaign.
