It’s been more than two months since Vice President Kamala Harris was deeded the Democratic presidential nomination. During that time, she has not held a news conference or sat with many mainstream journalists to answer serious questions about how she would lead the country and who she would choose as her advisers. On Saturday, riding high on her first debate win against Trump, Harris accepted CNN’s offer of a second presidential debate on Oct. 23. Trump declined the offer to appear on the Harris-friendly and anti-Trump CNN saying, “it’s too late.”

Harris has promised to bring down the cost of everything, though costs still remain high partly because of the spending policies of her and President Biden’s administration. Will those policies continue and if not, what policies will replace them? She has said she wants to impose price controls, but they have never worked. Wouldn’t it be better to address and change the policies that have caused prices and inflation to rise?
