Vice President Kamala Harris has expressed openness to the idea of reparations, emphasizing that the topic needs to be studied thoroughly. In a recent interview with Charlamagne, Harris stated, "On the point of reparations, it has to be studied, there's no question about that." She also mentioned her background, noting, "I grew up in the middle class," and highlighted the importance of addressing economic issues. Harris discussed this topic with New Era Detroit founder Zeek Williams. This stance has sparked discussions about the potential financial implications, with some critics pointing out the existing $36 trillion national debt and questioning how a multi-trillion-dollar reparations plan would be funded.
