**Harris Raises $27 Million at New York Fundraiser, Previews Economic Speech This Week**
NEW YORK – Vice President Kamala Harris raised a significant $27 million at a fundraising event in New York City on Tuesday night, a major boost for her efforts to support Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
The event, held at a private residence in Manhattan, drew a crowd of high-profile donors and political figures. Sources familiar with the event say that the Vice President addressed the attendees, emphasizing the importance of the upcoming midterms and highlighting the administration’s economic agenda.
Harris also hinted at an upcoming speech that will delve deeper into the Biden administration’s economic policies. While no specific date was revealed, the Vice President stated that the speech would be delivered sometime this week.
The fundraising event serves as a major signal of the Vice President’s commitment to boosting Democratic candidates in the midterms. With control of both houses of Congress at stake, Republicans are expected to mount a strong challenge.
The Vice President’s focus on the economy aligns with the Biden administration’s strategy to highlight its achievements on economic issues, particularly in the wake of rising inflation and concerns about the state of the economy.
The planned speech this week is expected to elaborate on the administration’s economic policies and offer a roadmap for the future. It will likely be a key moment in the ongoing struggle for control of Congress.
