WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — Vice President Kamala Harris played up a Goldman Sachs review of her economic plan on Friday after the firm’s CEO noted that the report actually showed her policies would have minimal impact on the economy. 

“Independent economists like Goldman Sachs have said my plan would grow our economy and [former President Donald Trump’s] plan would shrink the economy, reignite inflation and send us into a recession by the middle of next year,” Harris claimed at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 

The vice president leaned on the investment bank’s report during her Tuesday debate against Trump as well, prompting Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon to call out Harris for blowing the analysis out of proportion.

“I think this blew up into something that’s bigger than what it was intended to be,” Solomon told CNBC on Wednesday.

The Wall Street heavyweight also noted that the report “came from an independent analyst” – not someone employed at the firm – and that Harris left out key details – including that the difference between her plan and Trump’s was “about two-tenths of 1%.”

“What the report did is it looked at a handful of policy issues that have been put out by both sides, and it tried to model their impact on GDP growth,” Solomon explained. “The reason I say a bigger deal has been made of it is what it showed is the difference between the sets of policies that they’ve put forward is about two-tenths of 1%.”

The Trump campaign accused Harris of “lying” about the report’s findings. 

At the campaign event, Harris also misrepresented Trump’s positions on several policy issues, claiming the GOP nominee for president “intends to cut Social Security and Medicare” and will use the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 as the blueprint for his administration. 

The Trump campaign’s official platform states that the 45th president would “fight for and protect Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, including no changes to the retirement age.”

Trump, 78, has also repeatedly disavowed Project 2025 stating that he has no intention of even reading about the think-tank’s policy suggestions.

In a new campaign promise, Harris pledged to remove “unnecessary degree requirements” for federal jobs, which is already an ongoing government initiative. 

“As president, I will get rid of the unnecessary degree requirements for federal jobs to increase jobs for folks without a four year degree,” she told her Keystone State supporters. “Understanding that requiring a certain degree does not necessarily talk about one’s skills.” 

“And I will challenge the private sector to do the same,” she vowed. 

The US Office of Personnel Management’s federal jobs portal states that “except for certain professional and scientific positions, a college education may not be necessary” to apply for a slew of government positions.  

“You can qualify for many federal jobs based on job-related work experience,” the website notes.

The White House also announced in April that federal information technology jobs would move to a skills-based hiring process, removing educational requirements for certain tech and cybersecurity positions. 

The Harris campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.

The vice president’s speech was interrupted by multiple anti-Israel protester, at least one of whom was removed from the event. 

“I respect your voice. But right now, I am speaking,” Harris said during one boisterous disruption. 

Mail-in voting for the presidential election starts on Monday in Pennsylvania, earlier than in any other state. The battleground state has 19 Electoral College votes up for grabs in November. 

“It’s great,”  Bridget Kosierowski, a 53-year-old, Democratic state representative from Scranton told The Post about the Keystone State’s voting process. “The earlier we [allow] people to get out and vote, give them time and access to such, is very important.”

“I think it’s a fair, legal process,” she added, noting that she intends to vote on Election Day but her children will vote by mail. 

Kosierowski said she was “excited” about Harris’ “enthusiasm” and “empathy” and “her focus on women’s health, reproductive rights, child care, the workforce, health insurance, protecting the Affordable Care Act, protecting access to care.”

“She gets what people are thinking about,” the state rep said. 

James Ayrton, a 42-year-old higher education administrator from Blandon, Pa., told The Post that “policy-wise” he likes that Harris has strongly supported keeping the Affordable Care Act in place and her stance on the Israel-Hamas war.   

“I like holding on to Obamacare. I like her ideas in the Middle East, finding solutions to problems. And economically, having a fair tax system,” he said. 

When asked about Harris’ debate performance, Ayrton said he didn’t believe it helped the VP all that much.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know that it helps a lot,” he said. “Maybe Trump’s bad performance actually helps more than her good performance.”

The latest RealClearPolitics average of polls shows Harris with a razor-thin 0.1 percentage point advantage over Trump in Pennsylvania.
