Agree

Disagree

No, we already have sufficient anti-trust laws in place to prevent monopolies

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should not interfere with the free market

Kamala Harris has consistently supported government intervention in markets to prevent anti-competitive behavior. As California Attorney General, she joined antitrust lawsuits against large corporations (e.g., opposing the T-Mobile/Sprint merger). She does not support a purely free-market approach without government oversight.
