Inside Kamala Harris's political views: What you need to know before 2024 election
A deep-dive into vice-presidentʼs key policy positions shows evolution from her earlier career to present day. Her stances on healthcare abortion rights and economic reforms take center stage
Kamala Harris brings varied experience from her roles as California attorney general senator and now vice-president. Her political views dont stick to one specific party wing‚ unlike Joe Bidenʼs clear centrist position
Healthcare remains her strong point especially abortion rights: shes led nation-wide reproductive freedoms tour and made history as first VP visiting abortion clinic (in Minnesota last spring). Her medicare plans include home-care expansion - which could help lots of older folks stay in their houses
The economy shows her progressive side: she wants to change Trumpʼs 2017 tax rules raise minimum wage to $15-per-hour and build 3-million new homes. Her plans include tax-credits for lower-income workers; interesting approach to corporate taxes - she wants them at 35% instead of Bidens 28%
On immigration its been rough road. As border-policy leader she first said “dont come“ to migrants but later showed more understanding: “weʼre talking about children families‚ suffering - this isnt just politics.“ She supports the bi-partisan border deal that got blocked
We are very clear‚ and I think most Americans are clear that we have a broken immigration system and we need to fix it
Her foreign policy differs from Biden: shes more critical of Israelʼs Gaza response; strongly backs Ukraine (met Zelensky 6 times). On climate change she pushes for $10-trillion spending plan; supports plastic-straw ban despite drinking difficulties
About guns: she owned one as prosecutor but supports stricter laws now. For minority communities sheʼs planning special programs: business loans for black entrepreneurs‚ home-buying help for latinos‚ cannabis legalization
