Since President Joe Biden left the White House race, Vice President Kamala Harris has begun to craft her own narrative around the economyHarris freshens up her message on the economy as Trump and Republicans go after her on inflationWASHINGTON -- All of a sudden it's Kamala Harris ' economy — a major opportunity as well as a possible risk for the likely Democratic presidential nominee. But Republicans have moved quickly to try to blame Harris for the inflation that until recently they pinned on Biden. GOP leaders are openly saying Harris contributed to the inflation without specifying how she managed to do so other than by being vice president.
