[…] HARRIS’ FOOD PRICE FIGHT: Democrats on Capitol Hill are eager for Vice President Kamala Harris to focus on fighting high food prices in her campaign. And progressives are highly encouraged by recent comments the presumptive Democratic nominee made on the campaign trail as a sign she might do just that, your host reports.
Harris told a packed campaign rally in Atlanta last week that she would “take on price gouging and bring down costs” on “Day One” of her presidency.
That got the attention of progressives, who hope the vice president will be more willing than President Joe Biden to wield executive power to squeeze corporations they argue have been inflating the price of groceries and other everyday goods.
