Kamala Harris will outline a “pragmatic” economic vision and new initiatives to bolster domestic manufacturing in a speech Wednesday in Pittsburgh, as the Democratic presidential nominee looks to counter Republican rival Donald Trump’s polling advantage on the election’s defining issue.
The address will emphasize her willingness to work with business leaders to grow the overall economy while also stressing the importance of protecting workers’ wages and benefits, according to a senior campaign official who requested anonymity to detail the speech ahead of the event. She’ll look to draw contrast with Trump, casting his dramatic proposals to overhaul the nation’s tax code as a boon only for the wealthiest.
