Despite the uncertain path that Vice President Kamala Harris takes in shaping economic policies, it appears she is decidedly set on diluting President Biden’s focus. There is an almost visible desperation in an attempt to appeal to business groups that have found Biden’s arduous approach counterproductive. Harris’ rise to the helm in a rather unexpected manner leaves one pondering about her economic vision. While she plans to introduce her policy perspective this week, one can safely expect a significantly incomplete picture.
In her upcoming speech, with an eye exclusively on economics, set to happen in Raleigh, N.C., Harris is deemed to present a refurbished version of the current administration’s tedious economic plan. Reported by a group of people in the know, she seems to steer towards an approach that seems intentionally vague. Supposedly, she is prioritizing the control of cost of living over job creation and locally-centered manufacturing, signatures of the Biden mantra.
Surprising as it might be, there won’t be much deviation from Biden’s core substance, as bizarre as that might appear in light of the recent developments. It might be her economic advisors’ counsel taking the front seat, suggesting her a rather clear yet audacious depiction of the economy without overindulging in specifics. Many believe such a stance is made possible by the sudden exit of Biden from the Presidential race, secure a nomination without serious competition.
A prominent figure in her advisory group cryptically said that replaying her existing strategy would be neither practical nor sagacious. Instead, Harris would likely sift through the disarrayed pile of Biden administration’s policies to emphasize her personal favorites. Whenever a statement from the Harris campaign was sought regarding this week’s propositions, they chose to maintain a silence.
It seems Harris and her proponents, among them numerous left-leaning policy organizations, have decided on a narrow strategy. They are hoping to strike chords by hitting on scrutinized, high-level economic themes that reflect primary values and underline her political journey. In an unimpressive decision, they seem inclined towards ignoring detailed economic plans until post-elections.
In the subsequent plan, Harris, surrounded by her select advisors including noteworthy holdovers from Biden’s time, aims to supersede Biden’s efforts. They are eyeing more aggressive measures against mammoth enterprises capitalizing on their market influence to propel prices. There’s a clear indication that Harris is stepping into uncharted territories, casting a critical gaze over Baien’s approach and attempting to reshape it into her own narrative.
