Bharat Ramamurti, a key figure in Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign, has become a significant force in shaping the government's economic strategies, particularly in areas like student loan debt cancellation and transitioning away from fossil fuels.
Ramamurti's rise to prominence is rooted in his extensive experience in economic policy. He previously served as an assistant to Senator Elizabeth Warren and held the position of deputy director at the Biden White House National Economic Council, where he was known for his liberal approach to economic issues.
Ramamurti recently gained attention during a heated exchange with CNBC over the Biden-Harris proposal to tax unrealized capital gains—a plan the network criticized as "unfair" and "against the law," sparking a lively debate.
Who is Bharat Ramamurti?
Bharat Ramamurti is an American attorney and political adviser who has recently joined Kamala Harris's presidential campaign after she secured Joe Biden’s endorsement.
From 2021 to 2023, Ramamurti served as the deputy director of the National Economic Council, focusing on sectors like manufacturing, innovation, and domestic competitiveness.
Now a top advisor to Harris, Ramamurti is frequently in the spotlight as the vice president seeks to differentiate her economic policies from those of President Biden, particularly in addressing concerns about inflation.
His influence is expected to play a crucial role as Harris continues her campaign.
