WATCH LIVE: Harris delivers speech on her economic vision in Pittsburgh

Vice President Kamala Harris will speak at the Economic Club of Pittsburgh, where she plans to emphasize a “pragmatic” philosophy while outlining new policies to boost domestic manufacturing, according to a senior campaign official who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the upcoming speech. The Democratic candidate’s comments come after she told a posh audience of donors in New York City on Sunday that she would cut “red tape” that hampers growth.

The event is scheduled to begin at 2:15 p.m. EDT. Watch it in the player above.

Billionaire Mark Cuban said business leaders like him support Harris because she has taken considered positions that companies can understand, even if they have a different perspective.

“I want a president who will go into the details of things and have a policy team that understands all the implications of what has been proposed,” Cuban said Tuesday during a call with reporters set up by Harris’ campaign.

Harris has made promoting the middle class a top priority, often speaking of her own middle-class background to show that her ideas come from a personal journey.

But at an event in New York City on Sunday, she also made a plea for companies to have less drama in their dealings with government.

“We will create a stable business environment with consistent and transparent rules of the road,” Harris said. “We will invest in semiconductors, clean energy and other industries of the future. And we will cut unnecessary red tape and bureaucracy, all of which will create jobs, spur broad economic growth and solidify America’s leadership around the world.”
