Vice President Kamala Harris is responding face-to-face with voters about how she would help lower the cost of living if elected.

Asked about the issue during the “Unite for America Rally” livestream event hosted by Winfrey on Thursday, the Democratic presidential candidate first tried to sympathize before going on in her remark.

“Yours is a, a story I hear around the country as I travel, and in terms of both rightly, having the right to have aspirations and dreams and ambitions for your family and working hard and finding that the American dream is for this generation and so many recently far more elusive than it’s been, and we need to deal with that,” Harris said. “And there are a number of ways.”

“One is bringing down the cost of everyday necessities, including groceries,” she added.

A new Fox News national poll found that high prices is the biggest motivator for Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

The recent survey, conducted Sept. 13-16, revealed more than six in 10 voters are grappling with skyrocketing grocery prices, with 66% of respondents citing this as a significant problem for their families — a notable increase from 62% in May.

Additionally, housing costs have surged as a concern, climbing from 47% to 60% over the same period.

Gas prices remain a worry among voters, with 48% of voters labeling them a major problem, a figure that has held steady since the early summer.

The poll also found that Democrats have two issues tied as their most important issue, that being abortion and the economy. Meanwhile, for Republicans and Independents, the economy is first, followed by immigration.

In August, Harris and her campaign laid out more than a dozen economic policies, including: “Combating ‘price gouging’ on groceries and food by authorizing the Federal Trade Commission to impose large fines on grocery stores that impose ‘excessive’ price hikes on customers;” “Eliminating medical debt for millions of Americans, possibly by using federal funds to buy and forgive outstanding debt from health providers;” among others, per Yahoo News.
