The biggest problem Kamala Harris faces as the Democratic Party nominee is the Democratic Party polices put forth by President Biden. Repeatedly, polls have shown that the economy -- specifically inflation -- is the voters' biggest concern.
And rightly so. Despite media efforts to gaslight us and protect the Biden administration, people pay for gas and groceries. We know it's bad.
Inflation was 1.4% when Biden took office, despite his repeated lie it was 9%. Gas prices are higher now than when he took office, as are grocery prices. Credit card debt is at record highs and Americans are working multiple part-time jobs to make ends meet.
At the end of the day -- for all the noise about abortion and JD Vance and DEI -- Americans will ask themselves one question: were we better off, economically, under Trump or under Biden (and let's face it, Kamala is part of the Biden administration, she can't wash her hands of his policies)?
The answer is Trump.
Which is why Kamala is trying to 'freshen up' her views on the economy:

All of the sudden it’s Kamala Harris ' economy — a major opportunity as well as a possible risk for the likely Democratic presidential nominee.
Shortly after President Joe Biden left the race a week ago, Harris began to craft her own narrative around the economy by putting an emphasis on ending child poverty, promoting labor unions, reducing the costs of health and child care and protecting “dignity” in retirement.
Not once in speeches in Wisconsin, Indiana or Texas did she mention the word “inflation” — the overwhelming economic challenge that has dogged Biden’s administration and forced him in remarks to consistently acknowledge voters’ pain as they cope with higher grocery, gasoline, housing and auto expenses.
Harris is putting a bigger priority on what she says could be ahead.
This is all well and good, but how does this help Americans struggling to make ends meet today?
It doesn't.
Nearly 40% of adults say they worry about income covering their expenses.
How do you “freshen up” a 4 year record of massive inflation? pic.twitter.com/IEiU2cI33j

As the article said -- she just isn't going to mention inflation.
If you don't say it, it's not a problem.
Or something.
Do you guys ever get tired of being this shameless?

They do not.
I think there’s a better term than “freshens up.” pic.twitter.com/TQBvoOibLG

Mmmm. Waffles.
Bro y’all will use any word but “lies” unless it’s about him

By design.
Her message on the economy is the same as Biden’s.

She can’t just walk away from this: pic.twitter.com/gPLFFoBpPU
No, she cannot.
She is for up to 80% individual tax rates. Enough said. Not electable.

80% tax rate.
Absolutely insane and disqualifying.
Hard to powder over her lifelong commitment to being a commie. https://t.co/CSYtVVWOqh

Yes it is.
“Freshens up” is one way to describe cynically flip-flopping https://t.co/WoljbwH2Qy
— Sunny (@sunnyright) July 27, 2024
It sure is.
You see, it's not flip-flopping and lying about her record.
— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) July 27, 2024
She's just freshening her messaging up. You know, like going to the bathroom and throwing a little extra powder on. https://t.co/bs6tJHMM6J
Like lipstick on a pig.
Well, yeah. You typically own what the Administration does when you’re part of it. https://t.co/zOmPUl25kQ pic.twitter.com/wDY8JOcY0o

She's part of it and can't escape it.
