Harris unveiled several policy proposals at a North Carolina rally on Friday that aim to bring down the cost of essential goods.
Billionaire and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban promoted Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic policies in a flurry of social media posts Friday afternoon.
Harris introduced several proposals aimed at bringing down the cost of groceries, the housing market and other essential goods during a rally in North Carolina on Friday. The Democratic nominee’s plan includes tax cuts, a federal ban on price gouging by food producers and offering down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers who qualify. As the Associated Press (AP) reported, the policies are largely built off the Biden administration’s priorities.
«As president, I will take on the high costs that matter most to most Americans, like the cost of food», Harris told supporters Friday. «We all know that prices went up during the pandemic when the supply chains shut down and failed. But our supply chains have improved and prices are still too high.»
Cuban, a frequent critic of former President Donald Trump, shared his two cents on Harris’ proposals to X, formerly Twitter, including addressing criticism that the vice president has received for promising to go after price gouging as a way to tackle inflation. Trump has called the plans similar to «Maduro-esque price controls», comparing the plan to the Venezuelan leader’s policies that crippled the country’s economy.
