Harris's unrealized capital gains tax is unlikely to pass: CIO

The article discusses a recent statement from a Chief Investment Officer (CIO) regarding proposed legislation by Kamala Harris for a tax on unrealized capital gains. The CIO believes that the proposal is unlikely to gain traction or pass in Congress, primarily due to strong opposition from Republican lawmakers and some Democrats. This outlook stems from concerns about the potential negative impact on investment behaviors and the overall economy if such a tax were implemented.
