Vice President Kamala Harris has officially added a long-awaited policy page to her campaign website, outlining her key positions on a range of issues while devoting significant attention to contrasting her views with those of former President Donald Trump. The move comes as Harris prepares for the possibility of leading the Democratic ticket in the 2024 presidential election.
The new policy page lays out Harris’ vision for the future, covering topics such as healthcare, climate change, voting rights, economic recovery, and immigration. It also aims to Trump’s policies, highlighting stark differences between her approach and his record during his time in office. Several sections of the page are specifically dedicated to undoing Trump-era policies and addressing the impact of his presidency.
In the section on healthcare, Harris criticizes Trump’s efforts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, noting her commitment to protecting and expanding healthcare access for all Americans. “We cannot afford to go back to a time when millions of Americans were at risk of losing their health coverage,” the policy page reads, referring to Trump’s attempts to repeal the ACA.
On climate change, Harris contrasts her climate action plan with Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement, pledging to rejoin global efforts to combat the climate crisis and promote clean energy initiatives. The page also emphasizes the need for stronger environmental regulations, which she argues were weakened under Trump’s administration.
Voting rights is another focal point, with Harris outlining her plan to safeguard democracy and expand access to voting while criticizing Trump for promoting what she describes as baseless claims of voter fraud. “Our democracy is under attack,” Harris states, “and we must do everything we can to protect it from those who seek to undermine it.”
Harris’s decision to devote multiple sections of her policy page to Trump signals her campaign’s strategy of drawing clear distinctions between her vision for the country and Trump’s legacy. By addressing Trump directly, Harris is positioning herself as the candidate to reverse what she sees as harmful policies from his administration.
