Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to roll out her economic plan Friday during a speech in Raleigh, North Carolina. Early indications are it will have a progressive populist thrust, including attacks on corporate "price gouging," which conservative critics say is a smokescreen to deflect from the Biden-Harris administration's handling of inflation.

Michael Tyler, the Harris-Walz campaign communications director, said on CNN's "Newsroom" Wednesday that Americans "can expect her to talk about the ways in which she wants to move this economy forward and lower costs for middle-class families," noting Harris "understands that for too many families, prices remain too high." Additionally, this week, the campaign insisted tackling inflation will be a "day one" priority.

However, conservatives are criticizing Harris for her "day one" claim about going after inflation, insisting she has had four years to do something about it.

"Day one in office was 3½ years ago. What have you been doing in the meantime to tackle inflation?" E.J. Antoni said. "You've been creating it." See X and video here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/critics-blast-harris-grasp-inflation-attack-business-ahead-policy-speech-lunatic-behavior
