Vice President Kamala Harris is positioning herself as a pro-business pragmatist, emphasizing her support for capitalism while also advocating for unions and the middle class.
In a speech in Pittsburgh, she declared, 'I am a capitalist,' distancing herself from accusations of being too far left. Harris aims to counter Donald Trump’s populist rhetoric, which paints her as a 'communist,' by highlighting her commitment to economic growth that benefits both businesses and workers.
