Vice President Kamala Harris got one thing right in her speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
“The American economy is the most powerful force for innovation and wealth creation in the world,” Harris said. “We just need to move past the failed policies that we have proven don’t work.”
True enough. We need to move past the proven failure of the past four years’ economic policies. Harris is the presidential candidate who has been in power during those years, and there is a reason voters want a change in direction.
MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, who supports Harris for president, touched on this problem in a follow-up interview with Harris, asking the vice president what she would tell the majority of voters who believe former President Donald Trump would handle the economy better than she would.
In response, Harris flat-out lied, claiming Trump “left us with the worst economy since the Great Depression” and had lost “at least 200,000” manufacturing jobs before COVID-19. As noted by many news outlets, including some left-wing ones such as CNN, that is just false. Trump presided over a gain of 414,000 manufacturing jobs before COVID-19 hit, more than double the less than 200,000 jobs created under President Joe Biden from the pre-pandemic peak.
