Washington Post hits Harris over ‘populist gimmicks’ in economic proposal
 
The Washington Post Editorial Board on Friday slammed Vice President Harris over her newly-announced economic agenda, which they characterized as “populist gimmicks.”

“Vice President Kamala Harris’s speech Friday was an opportunity to get specific with voters about how a Harris presidency would manage an economy that many feel is not working well for them,” the board wrote in an editorial Friday. “Unfortunately, instead of delivering a substantial plan, she squandered the moment on populist gimmicks.”
 
Harris formally announced her economic plan at a Friday rally in North Carolina, which included a broad range of economic policies including child and home-owner tax credits, as well as a federal ban on price gouging on groceries.

The agenda takes aim at the economy, which has been defined as the key policy issue of the 2024 presidential election, and the campaign said that her proposals will be priorities for the first 100 days in a Harris White House.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
