US Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled economic policy proposals, including a federal ban on grocery price gouging and tax breaks for families, in her first major economy-related speech as a Democratic presidential candidate during a visit to North Carolina on Friday. Although her plans do not deviate far from those of the Biden administration, Harris shifted the focus from job creation and infrastructure to measures that would lower the cost of living for Americans.

Vice President Kamala Harris is promoting a broad range of economic policy proposals that include new tax cuts and cost-of-living cuts for Americans, seeking to address voters’ financial concerns that Republican Donald Trump is trying to pin on her.

Harris traveled to the swing state of North Carolina on Friday to outline her plans, including a proposal for a federal ban on price gouging on groceries. She also proposes a $25,000 down payment for certain first-time home buyers and tax breaks for starter home builders, among other measures.
