Kamala Harris’s surprise ascendance to the top of the ticket after Biden dropped his re-election bid means her policy platform is being pulled together just as quickly
Vice-President Kamala Harris is trying to outmanoeuvre former President Donald Trump and address old vulnerabilities on her policy positions as she starts to fill in how she would govern if elected in November.
Asked by reporters on Saturday when she would unveil her policy platform, Harris promised more details this week and added, “It’ll be focused on the economy and what we need to do to bring down costs and also strengthen the economy overall.” The Republican was none too amused by Harris endorsing the idea, complaining on his social media platform that “This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me.”
In her first weeks as a candidate, Harris’ most pronounced policy moves have been to back away from liberal stances she took in her failed 2020 bid for the White House, including proposals to ban fracking, establish a single-payer health care system and decriminalize illegal border crossings. Harris dropped out of that heated race before a single vote had been cast but recognizes that voters now could punish her for those stances if not quickly addressed.
