Kamala Harris Tells MSNBC “We Have To Raise Corporate Taxes,” Says Donald Trump “Not Very Serious” About Key Issues

Kamala Harris‘ sit down interview with MSNBC‘s Stephanie Ruhle was an effort to push back against the idea that she hasn’t offered a complete vision and economic plan, as the two went into some details of tax and tariff policy likely to be front and center for the next four years.

Of particular interest to the entertainment industry is her call for raising the corporate tax rate, as she has previously proposed raising it to 28% from the current 21%. “We’re going to have to raise corporate taxes, and we’re going to have to make sure that the biggest corporations and billionaires pay their fair share,” Harris said. “That’s just it.

It’s about paying their fair share. I am not mad at anyone for achieving success, but everyone should pay their fair share, and it is not right that the teachers and the firefighters that I meet every day across the country are paying a higher tax than the richest people in our country.” Ruhle’s interview was Harris’ first one-on-one sit down with a national network since she became the Democratic nominee.

In contrast to CNN’s Dana Bash, who landed the first sit down with Harris and running mate Tim Walz, this interview was focused on the economy, just as Harris delivered a major speech on her plan earlier today in Pittsburgh.
