Harris to outline 'pragmatic' view on the economy to voters

As Harris seeks to gain ground on the economy, she will outline on Wednesday what her campaign is calling a "pragmatic" view on the issue.

Harris plans to tell voters that "as a capitalist she understands the limitations of government" and that the government must "work in partnership with the private sector and entrepreneurs," according to the senior official, granted anonymity to preview Harris's speech. The official noted Harris will make clear "she is unafraid to hold bad actors accountable if she needs to."

The vice president will also argue that her economic philosophy is "rooted in her middle-class upbringing" and contrast that with Trump's "gilded path to wealth," as part of a larger values argument, the official said.

"Intelligence officials have identified that these continued and coordinated attacks have heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure President Trump is protected and the election is free from interference," Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote in the statement.

"He will let nothing stop him or get in his way to fight for the American people and to Make America Great Again," Cheung continued.
