Harris Campaign Reverses Course on Economic Agenda for Black Men Just Days After Its Release

Just days after introducing an economic agenda focused on Black men, Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign announced that the initiative will now be available to all Americans, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Initially unveiled as the “Opportunity Agenda for Black Men” to strengthen support for the Democratic Party within this demographic, the plan included a pledge to provide “1 million fully forgivable loans to Black entrepreneurs and others to start businesses.” It also proposed educational, training, and mentorship programs aimed at securing well-paying jobs for Black men, legalizing recreational marijuana to benefit Black Americans in the growing industry, and support for Black men caring for elderly parents.
