Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has recently issued a stark warning about Vice President Kamala Harris’ economic policies, suggesting that her potential presidency could lead the country into a depression.

DeSantis strongly criticized Harris’ plan to address rising food prices by banning price gouging, dismissing it as a misleading solution. He argued that her approach fails to address the root causes of inflation, such as supply chain disruptions and what he described as the excessive printing and borrowing of money. According to him, these issues threaten the country’s economic stability, and he suggested that Harris’ policies could potentially lead to a depression.

During a press conference in Bradenton, DeSantis pointed to ongoing supply chain problems and the large amounts of money being printed, stating that these factors had significant consequences for the nation’s economy. He referenced the U.S. national debt, which stands at $35.27 trillion, and the 2025 money-printing order valued between $83.2 billion and $113 billion, emphasizing that Harris had supported legislation contributing to this situation. He noted that Harris had cast crucial votes in favor of spending initiatives, which he believes fueled inflation.

In contrast, Harris has pointed out that the inflation is actually at 2.5%, However, prices remain over 20% higher compared to the pre-pandemic period in February 2020. Food prices, for example, have risen by 20% under the Biden-Harris administration, with the Vice President attributing this to corporate price gouging.

DeSantis, however, rejected this explanation, labeling it as false. He argued that the increase in grocery prices was primarily due to supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the vast amounts of money being printed and borrowed. He likened the situation to an invisible tax on the public, driven by the government’s actions.

The Russian-Ukraine invasion exacerbated the pandemic’s economic effects and severely disrupted global supply networks; industries particularly affected were chemicals, automotive, and technology, which changed consumer behavior and put a strain on economies across several nations.

Harris voted in favor of the Inflation Reduction Act in 2022, breaking a tie as the country’s inflation rate shot over the roof. This $740 billion law aimed to create jobs, lower energy and medical costs, and target wealthy tax evaders, though Republicans have criticized it, arguing that it worsened inflation instead of addressing it.

Recently, DeSantis commented on the Federal Reserve’s decision to cut its key interest rate for the first time in four years to reduce borrowing costs on mortgages and credit cards. However, he expressed skepticism about the nation’s economic future, despite the Fed’s actions. He placed much of the blame on the Biden-Harris administration, accusing them of mishandling the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic and contributing to the current financial challenges through excessive borrowing and spending.

DeSantis also voiced concerns about the Biden-Harris economic plan’s proposed tax on unrealized capital gains, which would levy a 25% tax on earnings for individuals with a net worth of more than $100 million.

DeSantis said that this approach would benefit not only the wealthy but the entire country. He dubbed the idea “Orwellian” and claimed that it would drive capital out of the United States, hurting the economy overall and particularly in states like Florida.

In a previous press conference, DeSantis had compared Harris’ economic proposals to the actions of an arsonist, questioning whether it would be wise to trust someone responsible for igniting a fire to then extinguish it.
