Understanding Vice President Kamala Harris‘s beliefs seems challenging, akin to solving the most complicated Final Jeopardy questions. Despite her various roles, including her time in the Senate, presidential run, and current vice presidency, Harris has yet to clearly articulate a concrete vision or policy agenda.
It’s expected that at some point, she will present a substantial policy proposal addressing national issues, as campaigning solely on “vibes” is not a sustainable strategy. However, it seems Harris has not yet chosen to define her platform clearly.
Harris’s avoidance of past progressive positions suggests a strategic shift away from her 2020 campaign promises
Despite her history of campaigning on various progressive issues in 2020, there appears to be a deliberate avoidance of these past positions in her current approach. The policies she once advocated, which were considered quite progressive, have been left behind, potentially due to their unpopularity.
Her presidential bid in 2020 was marked by bold promises, such as open borders, universal socialized medicine, and support for radical environmental and social policies. However, her campaign was cut short, failing to reach the primaries, despite raising huge funds.
In the face of these shifts, questions arise about her 2016 Senate promises and the extent of her change in views. As a vice presidential candidate and now serving as VP, her current positions contrast sharply with those she held during her campaign.
While her support for Biden’s agenda is expected, it raises questions about whether she truly aligns with the policies she’s been advocating or if her positions have shifted due to political expediency. The public deserves a detailed explanation for these changes in her stance on issues, as understanding her motivations is crucial.
