Arrests in Matthew Perry's death and Kamala Harris' economic agenda: Morning Rundown
NBCAUG 14 2024
During a speech in North Carolina on Friday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris announced some her campaign's economic proposals, including a ban on what she calls "price-gouging" and tax credits for homebuilders who build for first-time buyers.
The home-buying policy proposal, for which first-time buyers would receive $25k toward their downpayment, would be part of Harris' pledge to build 3M new houses over the course of her first four years in office and beyond.
Some of her other proposals, several of which would require congressional approval, include expanding the child tax credit to $3.6k per child and up to $6k for middle- and low-income parents with kids younger than one.
