Kamala Harris's key policy shifts that might surprise you before 2024 election

Kamala Harris started as Californiaʼs attorney general moved to Senate and now serves as vice-president‚ showing a non-standard approach to politics that doesnt fit usual party lines

Her stance on reproductive rights is clear-cut: she became the first-ever VP to check out a Planned Parenthood clinic (back in spring) and launched nation-wide freedom tour. During her failed 2020 run she wanted pre-approval rules for certain states anti-abortion laws

On money matters Harris takes a more left-wing path than her boss: she proposed tax-credits up to $3‚000 for single workers and wanted to bump-up corporate taxes to 35%. “This economy isnt working for working people‚“ she stated during a debate

Do not come. Do not come. The US will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders

Harrisʼs message to migrants in 2021

Her border-control job got mixed reviews – Republicans called her border-tsar while she faced criticism for late visits to the southern border. However she backed bi-partisan security deals and showed more care for migrant families later

On world issues Harris shows independence: she pushed for Gaza cease-fire earlier than others; supports Ukraine strongly (met with Zelenskyy 6 times); and believes in two-state solution for Middle East

Climate-wise shes more ambitious than Biden – wanting $10-trillion spending and carbon taxes. Her gun-control views mix toughness with practicality: she owns a personal weapon but pushes for assault-weapon bans and background-checks
