Harris proposes loan plan and supports crypto regulatory framework

Vice President Harris is stepping up his outreach to black male voters, promising to provide access to economic security. Meanwhile, polls show Trump is gaining support from black voters. Harris on Monday proposed a new program that would provide loans to black entrepreneurs and others who face hurdles in financing. The program would provide 1 million loans, up to $20,000 forgiven, according to Harris's campaign outline for black male voters. Harris also pledged to support a cryptocurrency regulatory framework that would provide more investment certainty to the 20 percent of black Americans who own or have owned digital assets. She said she would work with Congress to legalize recreational marijuana and ensure that black men can start businesses and work in the booming marijuana industry.
