The Kamala Harris campaign is out with a new ad pushing middle-class Kamala on America. The ad seemingly forgets that she has been in office for 3 1/2 years and that the Biden-Harris administration has failed on the very things she is now promising.
“She grew up in a middle-class home. She was the daughter of a working mom. And she worked at McDonald’s while she got her degree,” the narrator says in the 30-second spot. “Kamala Harris knows what it’s like to be middle class. It’s why she’s determined to lower health care costs and make housing more affordable.”
Pivoting to Republican nominee Donald Trump, the ad takes on a darker tone as the narrator claims, “Donald Trump has no plan to help the middle class — just more tax cuts for billionaires.”
“Being President is about who you fight for, and she’s fighting for people like you,” the ad concludes.

The campaign is targeting battleground states with a $50 million media buy ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins on Aug. 19 in Chicago.
Interestingly, Harris is mimicking President Biden’s largely ineffective response to rising costs, faulting corporate greed.
“Being president is about who you fight for. Vice President Harris is the daughter of a working mother and worked at a McDonald’s to put herself through college. She knows what middle-class families go through. Now, she’s running for president to make it easier for families to not just get by, but get ahead,” Harris campaign spokesperson Lauren Hitt said in a statement. “As president, Harris’ top priority will be taking on corporate greed to lower costs. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is running to give more handouts to his ultra-wealthy friends at the expense of working Americans. That’s the contrast voters are going to see between now and Election Day.”
Citing economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, News Nation reported that an analysis of price markups during the historically high 2021-2022 inflation surge “found that, across the economy, they’ve stayed ‘essentially flat’ since the recovery.”
“Overall, our analysis suggests that fluctuations in markups were not a main driver of the post-pandemic surge in inflation, nor of the recent disinflation that started in mid-2022,” the researchers concluded, according to the network.
Not that voters will be exposed to this truth.
E.J. Antoni, an economist for the Heritage Foundation, said of Harris’s stance on the economy, “Harris is an arsonist playing firefighter, simultaneously pushing for more government spending and taxes on the middle class while claiming conservatives are the ones to blame for her failures. People would be wise to remember who set the inflationary fire that burned their finances to ash.”
