Can't add plug ins on local wordpress site

I'm developing a portfolio site for myself and I went to add a new plug in and I ran into this issue.

"Warning: An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums. (WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.) in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/tyler-renfro.dev/wp-admin/includes/plugin-install.php on line 83"

These are lines 80-85, but I can't seem to figure out what is triggering the error. I think it's a network issue. I've tried deactivating and reactivating plug ins as well as changing themes.

$request = wp_remote_post( $url, $args );

        if ( $ssl && is_wp_error( $request ) ) {
            trigger_error( __( 'An unexpected error occurred. Something may be wrong with WordPress.org or this server’s configuration. If you continue to have problems, please try the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/">support forums</a>.' ) . ' ' . __( '(WordPress could not establish a secure connection to WordPress.org. Please contact your server administrator.)' ), headers_sent() || WP_DEBUG ? E_USER_WARNING : E_USER_NOTICE );
            $request = wp_remote_post( $http_url, $args );
        }
