Sanders Tells Harris to 'Go Higher' on Her 28% Capital Gains Tax Proposal as Vice President Seeks Support of Independent Voters

Sen. Bernie Sanders urged Vice President Kamala Harris to "go higher" on her proposed 28% capital gains tax rate, advocating for a stronger economic agenda for working people. Sanders maintained his opposition to billionaire political influence, as Harris garners support from major megadonors and endorsements from wealthy corporate leaders. Sanders has expressed tepid support for Harris since she launched her campaign in July. Harris has moderated some of her progressive 2019 stances to appeal to undecided, moderate voters expected to decide the race.
