Vice President Kamala Harris visited Wake Tech Community College North Campus to outline her plans to combat inflation and rising costs, contrasting with former President Trump’s approach. Harris blamed price gouging for high food prices and promised to pass a federal ban on it if elected. On the other hand, Trump focused on controlling federal spending and extending tax cuts to reduce inflation. RNC Chairman Michael Whatley supported Trump’s plan, emphasizing the negative impact of rising prices on North Carolinians. Whatley criticized Harris for proposing to let Trump’s tax cuts expire, which he believes would increase taxes significantly. Harris, in turn, criticized Trump’s proposal of universal tariffs as a “national sales tax.” The John Locke Foundation highlighted the financial strain on American families due to rising costs and the need to address the issues in the food supply chain. Overall, the candidates’ approaches to addressing inflation and costs reveal stark differences in economic policies that will impact American families.
