Kamala Harris has announced plans to increase the federal minimum wage to at least $15 per hour if she wins the presidency. Harris emphasized the need for bipartisan support to push this policy through Congress. The federal minimum wage has remained unchanged at $7.25 since 2009, the longest stretch without an increase. Harris’ proposal aims to boost wages for nearly 40 million workers. With polls showing stronger support for Donald Trump on economic issues, Harris is under pressure to present bold policies to regain working-class voters.
