We start tonight in the us, where vice president kamala harris has been laying out her economic plans at a rally in raleigh, north carolina. Her first major policy speech since becoming the democratic presidential nominee. In what is seen as more of a reboot of president biden s economic policies than a radically fresh start, ms harris launched her plan to create an opportunity economy. Still, we know that many americans don t yet feel that progress in their daily lives. Costs are still too high. On a deeper level, for too many people, no matter how much they work, it feels so hard just to be able to get ahead. As president, i will be laser focused on creating opportunities for the middle class that advance their economic security, stability and dignity. Together, we will build what i call an opportunity economy. North america correspondent nomia iqbal has been watching on from washington.

And you ll remember he did get a warm reception from the crowd, but it was nothing like that raucous reaction that we just it s heard vice president kamala harris getting in milwaukee earlier this afternoon and we have done so much reporting over the past few weeks on how much democrats watching the president s public appearances had been worried there was sort of a holding your breath kind of experience watching his public speeches and watching kamala harris on the campaign trail.
