Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign posted a list of her policy positions on her website Sunday, as the latest polls show her locked in a tight race with former president Donald Trump.
Titled “A New Way Forward,” the page outlines her agenda on the economy as well as immigration and foreign policy. On each issue, the campaign contrasts her positions with the agenda of Project 2025, the far-right policy proposal that Democrats have warned could form the blueprint for a second Trump presidency, even as the Republican nominee has distanced himself from it. Harris and Trump will face off in their first debate Tuesday.
The page says Harris’s economic policies are aimed at “lowering the costs of everyday needs” for working- and middle-class families. They include the expansion of two tax credits, which the campaign said would benefit 100 million families: the Earned Income Tax Credit and the Child Tax Credit, for which Harris aims to include a $6,000 cut for families with newborns.

Good stuff, from her housing plan to affordable child care and lowering energy costs.
Can't wait for the media to move the goalposts once again for Harris' campaign.
@GranolaEliSocialist8mos8MO
I agree, such great policies.
Here’s my only question though… why wait until 2025? Why not implement these now?
Honestly they should’ve been started a year or two ago
@NominationTerryDemocrat8mos8MO
She’s not the President and she needs a Dem House and Senate to pass it
@GranolaEliSocialist8mos8MO
I highly doubt Biden would say no to these. It’s not like they’re different parties. They’re the same regime.
They should start implementation now. It shows commitment to her pledges. If republicans say no she can use that to her advantage and boost house/senate voter turnout
You can’t start implementing something when you have a republican-led house that opposes anything helpful to democrats getting elected, a potus who doesn’t seem interested in working on her ideas rather than his own & a filibuster in the senate.
@TaxationHalRepublican8mos8MO
There are no policy positions there at all. Might as well have been written by AI.
Kamala Harris the actual person continues to not exist on her own campaign.
@TaxationHalRepublican8mos8MO
“We’re going to fix our broken immigration system”
Why is it broke Kamala? Who’s been in charge the last 4 years to see it’s broken?
@CheerfulCowDemocrat8mos8MO
Harris adds some details on what she would do on health care since she no longer backs Medicare for All.
“expanding and strengthening the Affordable Care Act and making permanent the Biden-Harris tax credit enhancements that are lowering health care premiums by an average of about $800 a year for millions of Americans.”
This is the correct viable position. M4A would be great but impossible without 60Dems and a full house. She’s living in reality and not over promising BS like Trump is.
@L1bertyBasmatiVeteran8mos8MO
She didn’t back Medicare for All in 2020. Grow up. We’ve been waiting nine years for Trumps Health Care plan!
@LuminousChileLibertarian8mos8MO
This is sarcasm right? Where is the policy in that babble?
@PeskyV0terRepublican8mos8MO
why a new way forward? is she saying she's messed things up? wouldn't it be better to replace a failed admin?
@PieFrankieRepublican8mos8MO
Except there aren’t any actual policy positions, & we’re less than 60 days from the election. Harris is the kid on the group project who doesn’t do any of the work but expects to get the same grade as everyone else in the group because they showed up for the presentation
@KnowledgeableBatVeteran8mos8MO
I disagree there's one policy position that I read on there, "she promises to be a president for all Americans and unite us with high aspirations."
I mean who doesn't like aspirations?
@8LJY9TVConstitution8mos8MO
Whatever she put on this web site = LIES, CAN NOT BE TRUSTED.
@RelishBertieGreen8mos8MO
It’s funny, they keep referencing her tenure as California AG, but almost never mention anything she’s done as VP. Probably because she hasn’t done squat and things she has done remind people of the admin’s failures
@R3volutionOrangeDemocrat8mos8MO
Not policy positions at all. AND ... the campaign continues to outright lie about Project 2025 being linked with Trump. The most persistently illusive and deceptive campaign in American political history. Congratulations.
@9T7SRWB8mos8MO
Harris has already announced sets of policies she would follow such as a ceasefire in Gaza. Sure, she doesn't have any polices that would make her separate from a Joe Biden campaign
@Gr4ssrootMantisRepublican8mos8MO
Why does she keep saying as a president.
She is the VP now. What has she done since jan2021? Three and half years ago.
Her Marxist/Communist values never changed.
A new Way Forward into MARXISIM/COMMUNISIM.
She flip/flop, changed her position anywhere, anytime.
