The vice president is expected to recalibrate President Biden’s policy themes in a bid to turn the Democratic economic agenda into an asset.The sudden rise of Vice President Kamala Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket has sparked a flurry of questions about her economic agenda. Many are wondering how closely she will follow President Biden’s policies, whether she will make any changes, or if she will introduce entirely new ones.

As she prepares to unveil her policy vision this week, Ms. Harris is expected to address some of these questions. However, her approach will likely be light on details, according to sources familiar with her plans. She will shift the focus away from job creation and American manufacturing, and towards addressing the rising cost of living. However, she is not expected to deviate significantly from President Biden’s policies.

This strategy is in line with the advice given to Ms. Harris by her economic advisors: to speak boldly about the economy, but avoid getting too specific. This has been made possible by the unique circumstances of Mr. Biden’s sudden departure from the presidential race, which allowed Ms. Harris to secure the Democratic nomination without going through a lengthy primary campaign.
