Other than Harris saying she wants legislation to legalize abortion nationwide, which would violate the Supreme Court decision that it is a state issue per the 10th Amendment (in fairness, I’ll say the same about any GOP legislation to ban it), does anyone really know what Harris’ policies are from the convention?
Kamala Harris Caps Off DNC Without Releasing Policy Platform
Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday despite failing to release a policy platform since launching her campaign.
Harris headlined the final night of the Democratic National Convention, accepting the nomination that the delegates had voted to give her weeks before in a virtual roll call. The vice president largely spoke about her personal background and attacked former President Donald Trump, while sprinkling in some vague policy positions and campaign themes.
“On behalf of everyone whose story could only be written in the greatest nation on earth, I accept your nomination to be president of the United States of America,” Harris said early on in her speech.
Harris began the speech with her personal story, speaking about how a childhood friend being abused led her to become a prosecutor and her mother telling her never to do things “half-assed.” She transitioned to some basic policy outlines, pledging to pass bipartisan border legislation that failed in the Senate earlier this year and to pass national protections for abortion access.
She also promised to continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself after expressing sympathies to the plight of Palestinians and calling for a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza.
Everything is vague and there are no details. She’s yammered a lot about fixing the border and economy, despite being VP of the Biden-Harris admin for 3 1/2 years.
On the final day of the convention, Harris is yet to have a policy platform on her website. In response, the Trump campaign released its own webpage detailing Harris’ “dangerous policies.” The Democratic National Committee released its platform on the first day of the convention, though it made 19 references to a “President Biden’s second term” and 150 to Trump.
If we had a news industry that actually did their job, people would be exposed to what she has done during those years, and what she did before then.
GOP Rips Dems’ Style Over Substance at Convention
Republicans are calling out the hypocrisy shown by Democrats during their national convention in Chicago this week, as Vice President Kamala Harris has used celebrity allies to sell the party’s newfound patriotism to try to win over undecided voters.
Speakers at the convention have talked glowingly about their “love of country” and “freedom,” even though Harris has revealed little about her policies, and those she has stated — such as imposing government price controls on private-sector businesses — clash with that vision.
“This is being decided right now based on a vibe … based on style over substance,” former Republican presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy said Thursday during a news press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago, the New York Post reported. “Many voters are going to demand some level of substance that they haven’t gotten yet.
“I see Oprah Winfrey. I see John Legend. See Lil Jon. Great. That doesn’t still tell me what she stands for.”
Of course, she doesn’t really want to get detailed, because, we’ve already seen the results during her time as VP, and after she yammered about raising taxes and and price controls, telling Americans what she really wants to do would annihilate her chances to win all those swing states. Trump needs to spend the rest of the time left hammering her on what happened during the Biden-Harris years, and over the vague policies she has said.
