Harris is trying to cut into Trump's edge on the economy. It could decide the election.

Summary

Harris is talking about the economy in hopes of winning over voters who continue to feel nagging economic pain. It may be the most deliberate and clear break she's had with Biden since taking over the ticket.

Inflation is already dropping. But prices remain about 20% higher than they were during the pandemic. Harris has made younger voters who are starting families and buying homes a special focus.

Harris needs to galvanize young voters if she is to recreate the Democrats' winning coalition from 2020. In the NBC News survey of Gen Z registered voters under 30, 50% said they favored Harris, compared to 34% who preferred Trump.

Harris has waded into the populist terrain that Trump has inhabited for years. She is singling out wealthy interests that might be looking to make money on the backs of regular Americans.

Corporate bashing is “a new angle” for Harris to “acknowledge flaws in the economy,” an expert says.

It's smart because the trump team has been trying to chop down her promises by promoting "isn't she vice president now? Why not do it now?"
