Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled one of her first major policy proposals earlier this month, but Democrats are not expecting it to pass through Congress even if she wins the White House in November.

Harris unveiled a proposal to ban so-called price gouging, specifically with regard to grocery stores and similar establishments. The proposal garnered significant criticism, with some equating her idea to price controls — which have failed to curb inflation and cost issues in various countries. Congressional Democrats have privately assured those concerned with the plan that it is messaging, rather than a proper proposal that could pass through Congress, according to a report from Politico.
