Harris heads to Pittsburgh (again) to make a manufacturing pitch to voters
NPR Online NewsSEP 20 2024
Speaking at the Pittsburgh Economic Club in Pennsylvania, Democratic Party presidential candidate Vice Pres. Kamala Harris pledged to be 'pragmatic' and described herself as 'a capitalist' when discussing the economy on Wednesday.
Republican nominee former pres. Trump has previously accused Harris of being a Marxist, describing the Vice President as 'Comrade Kamala' on social media.
Describing strengthening America's middle class as a 'defining goal' of her prospective presidency, Harris pledged tax credits for US manufacturers increasing 'good union jobs' such as steel and mining employers and to double the number of registered apprenticeships during her first term
Heavy in policy with a focus on unity instead of division, Harris's Pittsburgh speech was a stark contrast to the often hate-filled ramblings that America has grown so used to within the Trump campaign. Harris's opportunity economy is the only agenda aimed at uplifting America's middle class from poverty and finally bringing politics back to the people who truly matter.
By suggesting America must move on from its failed policies of the past, Harris's vacuous and detail-light speech once again exposed the Democratic campaign's extreme ignorance for the responsibility they hold over America's current economic woes. Having pushed the cost of living through the roof during her time as Vice President, Harris is fooling no one in claiming that she is the answer to the struggles of the American middle class.
