The official website for the Kamala Harris campaign for president has no
policies listed whatsoever two weeks after she entered the race.
There is a Meet Kamala Harris section, a Take Action section, a Store
for campaign merchandise and, of course, a Donate button. But as far as
policies there is absolutely nothing on the website.
In addressing campaign headquarters last month, Harris defined her campaign
loosely as a quest for a better future which she contrasted to what she
called former President Donald Trumps desire to return America to an evil
past:
Our campaign has always been about two different versions of what we
see as the future of our country, two different visions for the future
of our country. One focused on the future, the other focused on the
past. Donald Trump wants to take our country backward to a time before
many of our fellow Americans had full freedoms and rights. But we
believe in a brighter future that makes room for all Americans. We
believe in a future where every person has the opportunity not just to
get by, but to get ahead.
She added a list of Democratic Party priorities none of which have made
progress under the current administration:
We who believe in the sacred freedom to vote, we who are committed to
fight to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the
Freedom to Vote Act. We who believe in the freedom to live safe from
gun violence, and thats why we will work to pass universal background
checks, red flag laws, and an assault weapons ban. We who will fight
for reproductive freedom, knowing if Trump gets the chance he will sign
a national abortion ban to outlaw abortion in every single state [sic],
but we are not going to let that happen.
(Trump has explicitly said he would not sign national abortion legislation,
but that he would leave the issue to the states instead.)
There is no further information about Harriss policies. In the past, she has
embraced some of the most left-wing policies in the country, from Medicare
for All to the Green New Deal.
Supporters and surrogates have struggled to explain her apparent flip-flops
on those issues, with Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) telling CNN on Sunday that
Harris changed her mind frequently because she is a human being and because
the country changes every single day.
