Vice President Harris talked about cracking down on price gouging but later admitted that "very few" companies actually engage in it.
She made these comments at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 47th Annual Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C.
Harris didn't provide many details about her economic policies as she runs for president.
At one point, she mentioned helping families raise their children well, but gave no specifics on how.
"I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community," she said, emphasizing the need to ensure children have the resources to achieve their potential.
She then discussed her desire to lower grocery costs for struggling families. She vowed to take on corporations accused of price gouging.
But shortly after, she clarified that only a small number of companies engage in price gouging, saying, "it's very few of them that do this."
Harris's economic plan includes raising the corporate tax rate to 28%, a policy that’s drawn criticism from some groups.
One analysis estimated her plan could raise taxes by $4.1 trillion and lead to job losses and a decrease in wages over time.
