'I think it landed': Analyst singles out moment Kamala Harris won over Wall Street
Speaking with the co-hosts on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," on Thursday morning, business analyst Andrew Ross Sorkin explained that Vice President Kamala Harris alleviated a lot of concerns about her candidacy during a Wednesday speech and subsequent interview with
MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle.
Harris has been facing criticism from mainstream media members for not explaining enough about her policies while they have given Donald Trump a "pass" as co-host Joe Scarborough
observed earlier.
According to Sorkin, Harris has some "reluctant" fans in the business community and one declaration she made on Wednesday allayed any fears they may have had.
"There's a line in her speech yesterday where she said she was 'a capitalist,' and where she was free and fair markets, that was music to the ears of folks who weren't really sure where she really stood," Sorkin told the hosts.
"They have heard her called a progressive and then to hear her say that, you know we have heard from a lot of oh folks from inside her campaign that she was going to tack to the center, but was she really? I think this was, to the world of business a sigh of relief. Yes, she's going to have higher corporate taxes than former president Trump would be pushing for. At the same time there's a sense now you're going to have divided government anyway."

With Harris Wall Street knows that we will not have Trump's stupid economic experiments, like hiking tariffs.
