Kamala Harris Vows to Lower Prices by Targeting Big Corporations and Pharma
In a recent post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Kamala Harris outlined her commitment to tackling rising prices as a top priority if elected president.
She addressed key issues that directly impact the everyday lives of Americans, stating her intention to confront several major players in the economy who contribute to these rising costs.
Harris emphasized the need to take action against big corporations that engage in illegal price gouging on essential items, particularly food.
With inflation affecting grocery bills, many families are feeling the strain as they navigate rising prices at the supermarket.
Harris’s pledge to hold these corporations accountable aims to ensure that families can afford the basic necessities of life without fear of unfair price hikes.
Additionally, Harris pointed to the challenges posed by corporate landlords who have been raising rents at an alarming rate.
Working families, already grappling with financial pressures, often find themselves facing steep increases in housing costs that threaten their ability to stay in their homes.
By addressing the practices of these landlords, Harris hopes to provide relief to those struggling to make ends meet, ensuring that housing remains affordable and accessible.
Another significant aspect of Harris’s agenda focuses on Big Pharma. She promised to cap the costs of prescription drugs, a move that could greatly benefit millions of Americans who rely on medication for their health.
High prescription drug prices have long been a contentious issue, with many individuals forced to choose between their health and their financial stability.
Harris’s commitment to regulating these prices reflects a growing demand for affordable healthcare solutions.
Harris’s statements come at a time when economic concerns are front and center for many voters.
The rising cost of living, coupled with stagnant wages, has created a sense of urgency for comprehensive economic reform.
Her focus on corporate accountability and consumer protection resonates with a public eager for change.
In her post, Harris also highlighted the broader implications of her proposals for economic equity.
By addressing these issues head-on, she aims to create a more just and fair economic landscape for all Americans, particularly those who have been disproportionately affected by rising costs.
As the conversation around economic reform continues, Harris’s commitment to lowering prices positions her as a strong advocate for the working class.
Her approach seeks to challenge powerful entities that have long benefited from the status quo, paving the way for a more equitable future.
With many Americans looking for leaders who prioritize their needs, Harris’s bold agenda could play a crucial role in shaping the upcoming election and addressing the pressing concerns of voters nationwide.
Primate Elijah Ayodele, the head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church in Lagos, has said that two presidential hopefuls could prevent President Bola Tinubu from winning a second term in 2027. He shared this in a recent video.
According to Ayodele, these two candidates have the power to shake up the political scene and change the outcome of the election. He hinted that their actions could influence both the ruling All Progressives Congress and opposition parties, making the race more unpredictable.
The 2027 election is shaping up to be a major moment in Nigeria’s democracy. Tinubu, who became president in 2023, is expected to run for a second term, but the political landscape is already crowded with coalitions and alliances. Among them, the African Democratic Congress is reportedly positioning itself as a strong challenger, with figures like Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi forming partnerships that could affect the balance of power.
While some people take his words seriously and others are skeptical. As 2027 approaches, Nigerians will be watching closely to see if these aspirants can truly change the course of the election.
Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has said that former president Goodluck Jonathan stands no chance against his principal if he decides to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Bwala, who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, cautioned Jonathan against yielding to pressure from those urging him to return to the race. According to him, such calls are only aimed at ruining the former leader’s hard-earned reputation.
“I can see that certain people are trying to lure former President Jonathan back into politics just so they can damage the image he has carefully built since leaving office,” Bwala said. “After his time in government, he rose to become a respected international figure, and going back would put that at risk.”
While Jonathan has not publicly declared any political ambition, Bwala stressed that even if he chooses to run, he does not have the strength to defeat Tinubu. “If Jonathan eventually throws his hat into the ring, I can tell you with facts from the political climate today that there is no politician capable of dislodging President Bola Tinubu,” he added.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has strongly criticized the Nigeria Police Force for arresting and detaining human rights activist Omoyele Sowore. Sowore had gone to the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday to honour an invitation from the Inspector-General of Police Monitoring Unit over a petition.
He arrived with his lawyers and members of the ‘Take It Back Movement’, but was taken into custody and has remained there since. By Thursday, Sowore claimed that his arm had been broken while in detention, alleging that he was assaulted and sprayed with chemicals by officers.
Reacting on his X page, Atiku described the incident as a disgraceful misuse of power that must be condemned by all who stand for justice. He said Sowore’s only “crime” was speaking out against injustice, nepotism, and bad governance, yet he was attacked, injured, and humiliated under the watch of the police.
