Very few candidates (in fact, has it ever happened?) go from absolutely dead last to being appointed the nominee by fiat with no voters voting in one election cycle.
"Moderate". It is to chuckle politely. Here's a hint, moderates don't propose price controls as their first economic policy.
Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama, John Kennedy.

Net profit after inventory costs for grocery stores has gone up 40% since 2020. The grocery stores were highly profitable before they raised their profit margins 40%, so if they go back to the prior pricing structure, they'll still be making the same money they were before the pandemic, they simply won't be making record profits.
This isn't rocket science. This is economics 101. The first thing I learned as a banker was to look at whether proit margins for a company were consistent to industry standards. When someone is showing record profits without a drastic change in products, you have to look at how they achieves it, and if their numbers are consistent with industry standards.

Harris is the second-most liberal Democratic senator to serve in the Senate in the 21st century.
We gee, that's really not saying much given that the US Senate is 50 paces to the right of Attilla the Hun, and Mitch McConnell would NEVER let a liberal bill come to the floor.
That still makes here a moderate liberal in every successful nation in the First World.
