Exclusive: Harris to release new economic proposals this week on US wealth creation, sources say

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris plans to roll out a new set of economic policies this week that aim to help Americans build wealth and set economic incentives for businesses to aid that goal, three sources with knowledge of the matter said.

The new policies, which have not been previously reported and could be announced in Pittsburgh on Wednesday, come as undecided voters continue to ask for more information about how Harris would help them economically if she were elected president in November, including those in critical swing states, the sources said.

The rollout would follow heated debate in Democratic circles over whether releasing more economic policies so close to election day is a smart strategy. "It's not just about affordability, it's also about showing (voters) they have a path to building wealth," said one of the sources with direct knowledge of Harris's economic plans, adding she wanted to show Americans how they can "get a foot in the door."

None of the sources would provide specific details on the expected new policies, and the Harris campaign would not comment on any new proposals. However, Harris' 2020 presidential run and President Joe Biden's administration included plans with similar goals.
