Harris Casts Herself as a Pro-Business Pragmatist in a Broad Economic Pitch
Briefly

During her speech, Vice President Kamala Harris framed her economic vision as rooted in U.S. manufacturing and emphasized the need to uplift the middle class while supporting both large corporations and small businesses.
In an attempt to appeal to moderate voters, Harris stated, "I am a capitalist" while also committing to global leadership in the industries that will shape the future, such as bio-manufacturing and clean energy.
Highlighting her pragmatic approach, Harris noted, "From our earliest days, America's economic strength has been tied to our industrial strength," reflecting on the historical significance of manufacturing in the U.S. economy.
Harris's remarks at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh were strategically tailored to appeal to more conservative voters, as she aimed to persuade them against voting for former President Trump by presenting a centrist economic policy.
