She is being vague and unclear.
In her first media interview since becoming the Democratic nominee about 40 days ago, Vice President Kamala Harris outlined some of her day-one priorities if elected to the White House, though she did not provide many specific details. Speaking alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Harris indicated that supporting and strengthening the middle class would be a top priority.
When CNN’s Dana Bash asked Harris what she would focus on immediately if she took office, Harris responded that her plans included fostering an “opportunity economy.” She emphasized that Americans are eager for a change from the previous administration, which she claimed had contributed to national division and diminished American values.
Harris mentioned several proposals as part of her plan, including efforts to reduce the cost of everyday goods, support small businesses, and invest in families. One specific proposal she highlighted was extending the child tax credit to $6,000 for the first year of a child’s life, aimed at helping families cover costs like car seats and baby clothes.
She also discussed a tax credit for first-time home buyers, proposing $25,000 to assist with down payments. Harris framed this as part of her broader goal to make homeownership more accessible and achieve the American dream for more people.
