Kamala Harris’s 2024 presidential campaign has finally launched a policies section on its campaign website, nearly 50 days after Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid—making Harris the presumptive Democratic Party nominee— and less than 60 days before the November election.
The Harris policy agenda is mostly vague platitudes, though what details it does offer appear to be heavily borrowed from both Biden and former President Donald J. Trump.
The remainder of Harris’s policies appear to be largely lifted from Joe Biden’s now-defunct campaign website.
Absent from the policy website are some of the more radical proposals that Harris campaigned on during the 2020 Democratic Party’s presidential primary, including radical climate regulations, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and slashing police funding.
The claim that this would some “encourages investment” is nonsensical, as the capital gains tax is specifically a tax on investment.
Additionally, the policy page repeats Biden’s false attacks on Project 2025—claiming that the independent presidential transition effort is an official arm of the Trump campaign.
“Under her plan, the tax rate on long-term capital gains for those earning a million dollars a year or more will be 28 percent, because when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-based economic growth and creates jobs, which makes our economy stronger,” the Harris campaign’s policy agenda states, seemingly contradicting itself in the same sentence.
