Harris pitches herself as "pragmatic" capitalist as she tries to win more support

Pittsburgh — Vice President Kamala Harris spoke about lowering costs for the middle class and cast herself as a pro-business, "pragmatic" capitalist in an address Wednesday that focused on toplines of her economic plan and kept the details broad. 

In describing her economic philosophy, Harris invoked Franklin Roosevelt and said she'd engage in "bold, persistent experimentation." She called for "practical solutions" not "constrained by ideology" and said she would take "good ideas from wherever they come."

CBS News' recent polling shows her cutting into former president Donald Trump's lead among voters who say the economy is a "major factor" in their vote, but primarily among those who believe the economy is good or improving.
