Harris and her campaign have also tried to show they have dropped some of the more staunchly leftwing positions she had embraced during her failed bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, when she proposed a progressive wishlist, including a single-payer healthcare program, a “Green New Deal” and the decriminalization of illegal entry to the US.
“[2020] was a wildly contested primary, which sadly in the Democratic party tends to lead you to more left of centre positions,” said former US trade representative Ron Kirk, who has known Harris for more than two decades.
Harris now calls for more police funding, expanding access to health insurance through the Affordable Care Act and boosting the number of Border Patrol agents.
Unlike in 2020, Harris has also embraced her past as San Francisco’s district attorney and California’s attorney-general to show her toughness on criminals.
Here are the top political news stories for today.
Trump and his acolytes are really struggling to pitch the message of hate by the orange felon and weirdy beardy against a message of hope. Despite all the desperate maga posters here. It could be a landslide.
Name one accomplishment of Kamala as VP. One thing she contributed for “freedom”? Ok forget about doing anything for conservative voters, let’s just focus on her voters. Let’s narrow it down even more, let’s focus on pro-choice women voters.
Tell me what is her plan to reverse Roe vs Wade? Would the fight be at federal level? State level? What’s her plan? Empty slogans wouldn’t win back those rights. But we all know that she doesn’t have a plan.
I dare all of you who support her. Center left, left, progressive, men, women, other genders: tell me her plan to win women rights back.
And you will not be able to answer this question.
So her biggest appeal is gone.
To win the White House, and help Democrats win Congress; then to have Congress enshrine abortion rights as law; and then to sign that law. She has clearly said that's her plan.
So vote for Vice President Harris, who will get rid of the Trump abortion bans Americans hate.
And no, Xi's communist dictatorship isn't what we want in America; nor Putin's fascist dictatorship. Take your dictatorship plans elsewhere.
We Americans like DEMOCRACY here. That's why we vote for democrats, not for Putin-serving traitors like Trump.
Great, so let’s hear from Harris what this abortion law is going to be, any limits or not? There’s a wide variety across the States at the moment, so which voters is she going to upset?
Of course it’s convenient to gaslight that Trump was responsible for ‘banning abortion’ but SCOTUS review of Roe v Wade was actually triggered by Dobbs v Jackson’s Women’s Health Org., championed by Lynn Fitch, the Mississippi AG.
The inconvenient truth is that Trump has distanced himself from abortion - he’s said a limit of 14 weeks sounds about right but it’s up to individual states to decide. What’s dictatorial about that?
