Kamala Harris Advocates for Opportunity Economy in Recent Statement
Washington, D.C. – Vice President Kamala Harris took to social media today to emphasize her commitment to creating an “opportunity economy” in the United States. Drawing on her own experiences growing up in a middle-class family and working at McDonald’s during her college years, Harris highlighted the importance of accessible opportunities for all Americans.
In her post, she stated, “I come from the middle class—I worked at McDonald’s while I was in college. My mother made sure we knew that opportunity is not available to everyone.” This reflection on her personal background underlined her belief that the pathway to success should not be a privilege reserved for the few.
