    Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), who is running for vice president, savaged Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic policies, which involved government bans on “price gouging” and shelling out taxpayer money to help first-time home buyers.

    During an interview with Fox News’ Shannon Bream on Sunday, Vance discussed Harris’ stance on inflation and polling showing that she is slightly ahead of former President Donald Trump.

    Vance did not mince words when discussing how ridiculous Harris’ economic policies are. He said, “The American people just don’t buy the idea that Kamala Harris, who has been vice president for three and a half years, is somehow going to tackle the inflation crisis in a way tomorrow that she hasn’t for the past 1,300 days.”

    “Giving Kamala Harris control over inflation policy … it’s like giving Jeffrey Epstein control over human trafficking policy,” Vance added.

    Watch:

    The senator also downplayed polls showing Harris leading Trump nationally and in battleground states. “The polls tend to radically overstate Democrats, we certainly saw that during the summer of 2020 and summer of 2016, and, of course, a lot of those polls were wrong when it came to Election Day,” he said.

    He continued, saying that Harris “got a bit of a sugar high a couple of weeks ago, but what we’ve actually seen from our own internal data is that Kamala Harris has already leveled off.”

    The most recent RealClearPolling average has Harris leading Trump by 1.4 percentage points.

    Vance is correct in his assessment of Harris’ economic policies. Her price-gouging ban idea has met with criticism from the left and the right. Several left-leaning media outlets have taken her to task for the idea, arguing that this type of government interference will cause more problems than solutions.

    During an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Harris campaign’s co-chair, struggled to address questions from host Kristen Welker about the policy proposal, claiming that “People are reading too much into what has been put out there…”

    Harris will have to go back to the drawing board if she wants to articulate an economic plan that Americans can actually get behind. The price gouging proposal appears to be little more than a way to blame corporations for the inflation problems caused by the government.
