Vice President Kamala Harris will define her economic views as « pragmatic » during a policy speech in Pittsburgh on Wednesday as her team thinks she is making up ground against former President Donald Trump on the economy, a senior campaign official said.
In the speech, Harris plans to tell voters that « as a capitalist she understands the limitations of government » and that the government must « work in partnership with the private sector and entrepreneurs », according to the senior official, granted anonymity to preview Harris’ speech. The official notes Harris will make clear « she is unafraid to hold bad actors accountable if she needs to. »
Harris is also expected to evoke former President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose New Deal agenda brought America back from a steep economic downturn during the Great Depression, in her remarks, according to another senior campaign official.
