Vice President Kamala Harris surged ahead of former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Presidential Election Predictions on Polymarket.com.
Harris leads Trump 54% to 44%, as Americans place their bets on the next president.
The Harris campaign said Wednesday that if elected, Harris will work in her first 100 days to help Congress pass a national ban on “price gouging” for food and groceries.
The price of groceries has skyrocketed and the Harris campaign has vowed to “aggressively” investigate price-fixing in meat supply chains specifically.
On Friday, Aug. 16, Harris will announce measures to address housing costs.
The Guardian reports she will support plans to fund more affordable housing and build communities that are more resistant to climate change.
The Harris campaign said she will direct the Federal Trade Commission to impose “harsh penalties” on firms that insist on “price gouging.”
Harris’s policy announcement comes as Republicans criticize her for failing to announce her plans for the economy.
Harris has dodged major news media outlets since she became the presumptive Democratic nominee in July when Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
She declined an interview request with TIME magazine which placed her on the cover of its latest edition. Harris has gone more than 25 days without holding a formal press conference or a sit-down interview.
Her campaign has said the “basement campaign” strategy worked for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
