Kamala Harris: ‘I Will Work to Pass the First Ever Federal Ban on Price Gouging on Food’

Harris: “As attorney general in California, I went after companies that illegally increased prices, including wholesalers that inflated the price of prescription medication and companies that conspired with competitors to keep prices of electronics high. I won more than $1 billion for consumers.
(Applause)
So, believe me, as president, I will go after the bad actors.
(Cheering and Applause)
And I will work to pass the first-ever federal ban on price gauging (sic) on food. My plan will include new penalties for opportunistic companies that exploit crises and break the rules, and we will support smaller food businesses that are trying to play by the rules and get ahead.
(Applause)
We will help the food industry become more competitive because I believe competition is the lifeblood of our economy. More competition means lower prices for you and your families.”
