Kamala Harris to Deliver First Major Economic Speech as V.P.

Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday will travel to North Carolina, a state President Biden lost in the 2020 election, to give her first major economic address as vice president and promote a $20 billion investment the administration is proposing to convert the country’s entire fleet of gasoline and diesel-powered school buses to electric vehicles.

In a wide-ranging economic speech at Guilford Technical Community College, she is expected to promote the administration’s infrastructure plan as the “largest jobs investment our country has made since World War II,” according to aides.

“I believe you shouldn’t have to work more than one job to pay your bills and feed your family,” she is expected to say, according to early excerpts from her speech provided by her office. “One good job should be enough.”

As a senator representing California, Ms. Harris introduced the Clean School Bus Act to assist school districts in replacing diesel school buses with electric buses, her aides said.
