Vice President Kamala Harris will make her first policy-focused speech on Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The Vice President has visited the state nearly ten times as part of the Democratic effort to flip it Blue this election, even before she became the nominee after President Joe Biden stepped aside late last month.
By debuting her policy platform in North Carolina, the Harris-Walz campaign is also making a promise to its residents that their needs are a priority, not an afterthought.
VP Harris will be sharing her plan "to lower costs for middle-class families and take on corporate price-gouging," her campaign said on Tuesday.
This is a longtime passion of the VP's, as she also targeted "corporate greed and price gouging" when she was California's attorney general from 2011 through 2016, challenging pharmaceutical, oil, electronics, and cosmetics companies.
VP Harris has a fan in North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, who was briefly a contender to be her running mate until he removed himself from consideration.
Donald Trump was set to hold a rally in North Carolina on Tuesday, just after his disastrous glitch-plagued Twitter chat with Elon Musk. The Trump campaign was forced to pay the city of Raleigh $82,000 ahead of time to rent the event space because Trump notoriously skips out on his tab wherever he goes.
Meanwhile, Vice President Harris has widened her lead over Trump in a leading national poll. According to Ipsos/Reuters, VP Harris is now ahead of Trump by five percentage points, 42% to 37%.
