Vice President Kamala Harris continued her spotlight run with an economics-focused speech in Wisconsin.
Harris is making a series of speeches while her boss hits the beach. After taking it to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) on Tuesday, she touted the Biden economy on Thursday.

“Bidenomics is working! It’s working!” she said in Kenosha, using the White House’s preferred tagline. “It’s a term we’re very proud of, I must tell you.”

Harris made the speech in Kenosha, a town near the Illinois border that she said was decimated by offshoring beginning in the 1990s.
“Thousands of good-paying jobs right here in Kenosha were shipped overseas,” she said. “Countless communities saw the anchor of their economy packed up and shipped offshore.”
More than 6 million jobs went overseas between 1990 and 2010, Harris added.
“President Joe Biden and I decided to run for office because we believed it was time to fix this and to bring manufacturing jobs back to places like Kenosha,” she said.
Republicans counter that inflation has risen 16.6% since Biden took office and that real wages are still negative.
The White House is talking up its own numbers, however, saying more than 13 million jobs have been added to the economy since Biden took office in January 2021 and that unemployment is nearing a record low.
“In just our first two years, entrepreneurs applied to start more new small businesses than in any other two-year period in history,” Harris said. “Including many good-paying union jobs.”

She kept the speech brief and avoided playing the heavy in the way she has recently, attacking Republicans only for espousing “trickle down” economics.
“Through Bidenomics, we are showing that when we invest in workers and families, when we create jobs and opportunities, when we roll up our sleeves and get to work, there’s no limit to what we can achieve,” Harris said.
