From Fox Business: Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump each have a “wish list” of economic ideas to boost Americans’ pocketbooks and help the middle class.
But after Harris’ first interview as the Democratic nominee on Fox News with “Special Report” host Bret Baier, one prominent economist argues that it’s clear her ideas “pander” to voters and will likely be difficult to enact.
“A lot of the responses relied upon these outside experts, rather than talking about the merits of the policies… The dynamics of this were such that Vice President Harris, of course, had some messages that she wanted to get through, which focused not as much on her plans, but more on attacking former President Trump,” former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission chief economist and current Carnegie Mellon University professor Chester Spatt told Fox News Digital.
“I think she probably should have addressed more where they felt they had economic success. I think that would have been helpful to voters,” he continued. “And to what extent, of course, are the policies, hers or the president’s, are these distinguishable? I think she certainly should have highlighted more where she would have different policies.”

During her appearance with Fox News host Bret Baier Wednesday evening, Harris dodged questions about the economy, but claimed the American people are ready to “turn the page.”
She shared no details on her “plan.”
Kamala is asked why more people trust President Trump on the economy than her.
She responds by saying that the “experts” are smarter than the American people.

When confronted with the fact that 79% of Americans believe the country is currently on the wrong track, which includes 3 1/2 years of her being in office, Harris stammered, “And Donald Trump has been running for office.”
“But you’ve been the person holding the office,” Baier retorted.
Baier: More than 70% of Americans say the country is on the wrong track. If you’re turning the page, you’ve been in office for 3.5 years
