Vice President Kamala Harris has unveiled her economic plan, which includes key issues to tackle in her first 100 days in office. Yahoo Finance Washington Correspondant Ben Werschkul joins Morning Brief to lay three of the biggest positions in Harris's platform.

July's Consumer Price Index (CPI) highlighted how shelter costs continue to be rocked by sticky inflation. Harris seeks to address the strained housing market by building three million new housing units over the four years of her administration. The campaign is calling for the first-ever tax incentive for building starter homes, as well as a $25,000 tax credit toward down payments for first-time buyers.

The increased cost of food prices has also strained Americans' wallets, and Harris is looking to unveil a federal ban on food price gouging. The administration would establish new rules making it illegal for food companies to raise prices beyond a certain level.

Finally, the Harris administration will focus on driving down the cost of prescription drugs. While the Biden administration has worked to lower prices for seniors, Kamala Harris is focused on lowering the price on a broader scale, and will focus specifically on drugs like insulin.
