Kamala Harris Campaign Website Now Lists Policy Platform
Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign has unveiled a detailed policy platform on its website, titled "A New Way Forward," addressing key economic, healthcare, and civil rights issues. This move follows criticism for not previously listing her policy positions. The platform includes plans to cut taxes for working and middle-class families, expand the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit, and introduce a $25,000 credit for first-time homebuyers. Additionally, Harris aims to reduce healthcare costs by capping insulin prices at $35 per month and limiting annual prescription drug expenses to $2,000. The agenda also focuses on banning corporate price gouging and supporting small businesses by reducing regulatory barriers and increasing the startup expense tax deduction.
Harris's campaign contrasts her policies with former President Donald Trump's "Project 2025 Agenda," highlighting differences in economic and social policies. The new webpage outlines Harris's commitment to reproductive rights, promising to restore and protect reproductive freedoms. It also includes plans to revive a bipartisan border security bill and create 3 million additional affordable rental units and homes. On gun control, Harris proposes banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, mandating universal background checks, and supporting red flag laws.
The campaign also addresses foreign policy, emphasizing support for Israel's right to self-defense and working towards a ceasefire in Gaza. Harris criticizes Trump's approach to healthcare, taxation, and civil rights, arguing that his policies would increase costs for American families and restrict freedoms. This new policy page aims to provide voters with a clear comparison between the candidates' visions for the future, ahead of the upcoming debate between Harris and Trump.
