With President Joe Biden officially out of the election, experts are watching for tax policy from Vice President Kamala Harris, the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
While Harris has yet to outline her economic agenda, voters could see similar themes to Biden’s proposals, which have called for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations, experts say.
Ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Harris shared many of Biden’s priorities but voiced distinct proposals before her campaign ended in December 2019.
Broadly speaking, it seems like Harris would be “largely on board” with most, if not all, of what Biden has been pushing, “especially in the big picture,” said Garrett Watson, senior policy analyst and modeling manager at the Tax Foundation.
