The news follows Harris’ endorsement by Democratic delegates after President Joe Bidens exit from the presidential race. Harris, a former California senator and San Francisco district attorney, has discussed her stance on key issues, including health care.
Why it’s important: Harris recently unveiled her economic agenda in North Carolina, emphasizing expanding Medicare benefits to all Americans and pledging to lower the cost of insulin and prescription drugs.
She highlighted her previous efforts as California’s attorney general to combat price inflation and pledged to eliminate medical debt, The Hill reported. Harris also criticized former President Donald Trumps position on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare, claiming that his policies would undo the progress that has been made. Harris stated, “We’ve come too far to let that happen.”
Harris’ views on health care and other key policy issues differ significantly from those of Republican nominee, former President Trump. As reported in a Benzinga article, Harris’ potential presidency could result in higher corporate taxes, impacts on consumer staples and a boost to the solar industry.
