Vice President Kamala Harris is sharing one part of the Inflation Reduction Act she is most excited about.

Harris sat down for a climate discussion with the “A Matter of Degrees” podcast on Tuesday.

One of the co-hosts asked her, “What are some parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, this amazing new law, that you are most excited about?”

You might think, given that polls show inflation is a top concern for voters, the answer would be easy.

In fact, it is almost as though she could just pull two words out of the name of the bill, the Inflation Reduction Act, and it would make sense.

It should have been a layup for her. But no.

What is Harris most excited about in this bill? Electric school buses. You read that right.

“I mean so much, so much,” Harris began. “One of the things that I’m very excited about is what we have been doing in terms of electric vehicles.”

She continued, “I have a particular fondness, I must tell you, for electric school buses. I love electric school buses. I really do. And we’re manufacturing them in our country. I’ve been to the manufacturing plants. I’ve been on these electric school buses.”

Yes, this was a climate discussion. But the bill was sold as something to bring down prices. It’s in the name.

You might think Harris would tout what she says are measures in the bill designed to bring down costs for Americans, and then talk about the climate measures. But instead, she went straight to electric school buses.

It’s kind of a tacit admission that this bill was a vehicle for Democrats to push through some of their agenda on climate change and healthcare. And it was given its name because who is going to sink a bill named the Inflation Reduction Act?

The name seems to have given Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) the cover he believed he needed to vote for the $430 billion bill despite previously raising concerns about inflation.

Even mainstream news outlets such as The New York Times, NPR, Politico, CNN, and ABC News, essentially admitted the bill was not really about inflation as they called it some version of a climate, tax, and healthcare bill in their headlines.

If reducing inflation was the main goal of the Inflation Reduction Act, why is stemming price increases almost an afterthought when the bill is discussed?
