Harris On Economy: “Working People… Left Out And Left Behind” + Mongolia Space Cooperation

Vice President Kamala Harris delivered August 2023 remarks combining economic framing with Mongolia space cooperation context. Harris framed: “President Biden and I came into office with a plan to strengthen America’s economy. We knew that for far too long our economy has not worked for working people. Entire communities have been left out and left behind.” Harris cited Mongolia bilateral: “In particular, we will discuss the work that we will do together to strengthen our space cooperation. You and I spoke briefly about the beginning of the next era and for you what that means in terms of your leadership and your vision for the future. And certainly strengthening our space cooperation would be a part of that agenda. Including of course using our space cooperation to think about how we strengthen the economic prosperity and development of our nations.” Harris closed with culture war: “In this moment, we even see extremists ban books and attempt to erase and even rewrite [the ugly parts of our history].”
