Harris revealed the plan in a speech on Wednesday in New Hampshire, telling the audience, “If you earn a million dollars a year or more, the tax rate on your long-term capital gains will be 28 percent under my plan because we know when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-based economic growth, and it creates jobs, which makes our economy stronger.”

Harris’ proposal for a lower top tax rate on capital gains suggests she wants to appeal to a broader base of voters, even as she sticks with most of President Biden’s plans to strengthen the middle class. Harris became the Democratic nominee after Biden stepped aside on July 21.
