Kamala Harris unveiled her detailed economic plan, pledging to combat price gouging to reduce grocery costs. This policy has stirred debate, with Donald Trump calling it "Soviet-style" controls. Harris's plan is popular among voters, with 60% supporting caps on food price hikes. Economists caution against simplistic views on inflation, noting complex factors like supply chain issues and labor costs.
