As Kamala Harris steps onto the debate stage for the first time to face Donald Trump, we should ask ourselves: are we better off now than we were four years ago?

As Americans grapple with rising prices, inflation has become the number one issue for families nationwide. The Biden-Harris administration's economic policies have led to historic inflation, making it nearly impossible for many American families to make ends meet. We feel the reality of these failed policies daily as we go to the grocery store and pay for gas and electric bills. 

Skyrocketing prices are impacting everything, and Kamala Harris has no remorse for the pain she's inflicted on families - I would know, as the former Lieutenant Governor of California, I witnessed the failures of her policies that, as a prosecutor, sided with criminals of law enforcement, and as a Senator sent our state into a radical downward spiral. She shouldn't have been promoted to Vice President back in 2021, and she surely has given us over 27,000 reasons to not promote her in November- look no further than the $27,000 Americans are spending now due to Kamalanomics historic inflation. 

The Biden-Harris administration's reckless spending and socialist economic policies have pushed the American dream out of reach. But when Kamala Harris takes the debate stage, I don't expect her to acknowledge the reality of the pain her policies have caused. Instead, she'll likely focus on rehashing tired talking points and dodging real questions about her agenda's impact on the hard-working Georgians- remaining unburdened by what has been: her record of disaster.

The truth is that Harris' economic plan is built on false promises and a radical Left ideology. Her support for Soviet-style price controls is a direct assault on the free market and would do nothing but lead to shortages, stifle growth, and exacerbate inflation. Just ask Russia how price controls and other socialist policies worked for them in the 1980s.

Across the state of California and beyond, we watch in fear of the destruction a Harris administration would cause, fearing the worst is yet to come if she is at the helm. Every day I hear the concerns of families whose grocery bills have doubled, savings depleted, all while their wages have decreased.  

Our nation is built on hard work, family values, and the ability to create opportunity for the next generation. But Kamala Harris' radical policies threaten that very foundation and leave our communities in the lurch. 

This debate will be an opportunity for Harris to finally explain her agenda, but I wouldn't hold my breath. I've lived in the realities of her radical Left policies. I've watched her politics of projection and deflection which will be on full display tonight. A question everyone should be asking is if she had an agenda that worked and economic policies that helped Americans, then why hasn't she done it in the last four years?

Put simply, let her record speak for itself—extreme policies, broken promises, and an agenda that has failed to address the top issue for our families: the economy.

It's time for real leadership. Americans deserve a leader in the White House that puts hard-working Americans first. It's time to finally fire Kamala Harris and bring back the Trump economic boom.

Abel Maldonado served as the 46th California Lieutenant Governor from 2010 to 2011. Currently, he is the last member of the Republican Party to serve as the state's Lieutenant governor.
