Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the first COVID-19 stimulus package in 2021 which led to inflation, in what critics call a sign of what's to come in a possible Harris administration.
Harris, who is the President of the Senate, has cast the most tie-breaking votes in the Senate of any vice president, a total of 33 thus far.
Her second tie-breaker was for the stimulus package at the beginning of the Biden administration, which has significantly impacted the economy, as inflation has skyrocketed.
Harris cast the tie-breaking vote in the Senate for the $1.9 trillion stimulus package in February 2021 before it was sent over to the House of Representatives and passed.
President Biden repeatedly said he "Inherited" a 9% inflation rate, which CNN called false.
Biden dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday, after he was diagnosed with COVID-19 and had been facing calls to drop out from members of his own party following his debate against former President Donald Trump last month.
The president eventually endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination.
"We had a pretty booming economy under Trump before COVID," Moore explained, saying there were lower poverty rates, low unemployment, and factories moving back to the U.S. Now the economy is improving because the "Government is growing" under the Biden administration, whereas Trump wants to grow private business.
Bobby Charles, the national spokesman of Association of Mature American Citizens and former assistant secretary of state in the last Bush administration, told the John Solomon Reports podcast on Wednesday that Harris is as much at fault for the economy as Biden.
"In the economy, look, she owns this. She and the president, who she defended with lies for the duration of the last three and a half years, own this entire failure," Charles said.
"In prior polls from 2017 to 2021, this sentiment was much lower at 20% to 29%." Prices have risen about 20% since the president took office, a significant increase for various goods and services.
