Kamala Harris Advocates for $15 Federal Minimum Wage

Vice President Harris distinguishes her stance from Trump's by supporting a minimum wage increase as part of her campaign.

  • Vice President Kamala Harris has publicly declared her support for raising the federal minimum wage to at least $15 an hour.
  • Harris highlighted the disparity between her and former President Trump, who did not specify his position on the minimum wage during a campaign event.
  • The federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25 since 2009, which Harris criticized as insufficient for a living wage.
  • Democrats have long pushed for a minimum wage increase, while Republicans argue it could result in job losses.
  • Harris's proposal aligns with the 'Fight for $15' movement, which has gained traction since 2012.
