Harris Campaign Website Adds Policy Platform Page 👉 Updatem News

The page lists the presidential hopeful’s policy positions on key issues, such as gun violence and illegal border crossings, ahead of the Sept. 10 debate.

Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign has launched a new webpage detailing her policy positions on key issues, such as gun violence and illegal border crossings, ahead of a Sept. 10 debate, where Harris and former President Donald Trump will face off for the first time.

The page titled “A New Way Forward” details the plan of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to build what she called “an opportunity economy” focused on cutting taxes for working and middle-class families, reducing healthcare costs, and investing in child care. Harris also pledged to “restore and protect reproductive freedoms” if she wins the election.

Harris proposed building 3 million additional affordable rental units and homes to end the housing supply crisis in her first term, according to the page. She also promised to “outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords.”

The Democratic Party’s nominee also pledged to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, mandate universal background checks, and support red flag laws to seize guns from individuals deemed to be dangerous.

On the border crossing issue, Harris planned to address what the campaign refers to as the country’s “broken immigration system” by reviving a bipartisan border security bill that failed to pass in the Senate earlier this year. Senate Republicans blocked the bill saying it didn’t go far enough to secure the border.

The page affirms Harris’s commitment to ensure that Israel has the ability to defend itself while also working towards a ceasefire deal to end the war in Gaza and secure the release of hostages kidnapped by Hamas.

It also features information on what the Harris campaign calls “Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda,” in which it warns voters about dangers if the Republican nominee is reelected.

Trump distanced himself from the Heritage Foundation think tank’s Project 2025 in July.

In a Truth Social post, the former president said, “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it,” adding that he believes “some of the things they’re saying” are unreasonable.

“Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them,” the former president said.

In a statement posted to X in July, Project 2025 wrote that it is not connected to the Trump reelection campaign.

“As we’ve been saying for more than two years now, Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign,” the statement said, adding that it represents more than 110 conservative groups. “But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”

The Harris campaign’s “A New Way Forward” page was created just a week after Harris’s Aug. 29 interview with CNN, her first as the Democratic presidential nominee. Harris told the interviewer that her values have not changed despite shifts in her stance on some issues.

Record numbers of illegal immigrants have been apprehended during the current administration. In the interview, CNN’s Dana Bash asked why it took the president and vice president three and a half years to take action to stem the flow.

Harris, whom Biden appointed to address the root causes of migration, said her work helped reduce the number of crossings. She repeated her support for the bipartisan border bill, which failed to pass the Senate, while blaming Trump for its demise.
