Kamala Harris's political views that might surprise you before 2024 election

Kamala Harris moved from California AG to VP showing flexible political views that dont always match with President Bidenʼs positions. Her stance changes on many topics — making her hard-to-predict political figure

On abortion rights shes become the partys main voice: visiting planned-parenthood clinics and leading nation-wide tours (which no other VP has done before). During her 2020 campaign she pushed for stronger federal control over state abortion laws; creating quite a stir in conservative circles

Her tax ideas are more left-leaning than Bidens: she wants to raise corporate tax to 35% (versus Bidens 28%) and create new tax-credits for low-income workers. “This economy isnt working for working people“ she stated during debates; suggesting big changes to Trump-era policies

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

Harris speaking in Guatemala

Immigration brought her both praise and criticism — as border-tsar she faced tough questions about migration policy. In early-2024 she backed a bi-partisan border deal: showing more flexible approach than before

  • She calls Gaza situation a “human catastrophe“
  • Supports Ukraine with “unwavering commitment“
  • Pushes for $10-trillion climate spending
  • Wants assault weapons ban
  • Keeps personal handgun at home

On Israel-Palestine conflict shes taken stronger stance than Biden — calling for immediate cease-fire and speaking about humanitarian needs. Her climate views are also more progressive: supporting carbon tax and plastic-straw bans (though she jokes about paper straws being hard-to-use)
