In her Democratic National Convention speech on Thursday, U.S. Vice President and presidential candidate Kamala Harris committed to standing with NATO allies and supporting Ukraine if elected president.
Harris also outlined her economic agenda, emphasizing her plan to implement a middle-class tax cut rather than the tax hikes proposed by her opponent, Republican candidate Donald Trump. She criticized Trump’s tariff proposals as a potential price increase and positioned her tax plan as beneficial to over 100 million Americans.
Harris framed strengthening the middle class as a central goal of her presidency, pledging to foster an “opportunity economy” where all individuals can compete and succeed. Her recent proposals also include measures to cut taxes for most Americans, ban price gouging by grocers, and increase affordable housing.
