Washington: During her unscripted, pre-recorded interview with CNN, Kamala Harris revealed what she would do, on her first day as the President of USA.

In her conversation with Dana Bash of CNN, the Democratic presidential candidate also spoke about several other things including Biden administration, Donald Trump's racial attacks and ongoing Israel Hamas War.

What Kamala Harris Would Do on Her First Day of Office as US President

During her CNN Interview, Kamala Harris envisioned her first day as the President of America and spoke about what she would do on that day.

The Democratic presidential candidate said that she would implement her ‘opportunity economy’ plan on day one of office.

According to Harris, this would contribute towards her goal of ‘supporting and strengthening the middle class’.

All About Harris' ‘Opportunity Economy' Plan

Elaborating on her ‘opportunity economy’ plan which she would implement from her first day at office, Kamala Harris said that she is focussing on this plan to bring down the cost of everyday goods.

Quoting CNN, “Harris said she would focus on her “opportunity economy” plan to bring down the cost of everyday goods and give parents of newborns a $6,000 tax credit ‘to help them buy a car seat, to help them buy baby clothes, a crib’.”

Kamala Harris on Economic Changes Made by Biden

"I maintain that when we do the work of bringing down prescription medication for the American people, including capping the cost, the annual cost, of prescription medication for seniors at $2,000, when we do what we did in the first year of being in office to extend the child tax credit so that we cut child poverty in America by over 50%; when we do what we have done to invest in the American people and bringing manufacturing back to the United States so that we created over 800,000 new manufacturing jobs, bringing business back to America; what we have done to improve the supply chain so we’re not relying on foreign governments to supply American families with their basic needs. I’ll say that that’s good work. There’s more to do, but that’s good work."

Vice President Kamala Harris emphasised that her "values have not changed," despite evolving stances on issues such as fracking and the decriminalisation of illegal border crossings. Harris reiterated her unwavering support for Israel amidst its conflict with Hamas and urged for a plan to get the hostages back.
