Harris Campaign Still Hasn’t Posted Her Platform Online, So Trump Campaign Did It For Them

Kamala Harris has been rightfully criticized for her campaign's lack of substance.

A full month since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, she's only taken a couple of questions from the press, has yet to hold an official interview, and has barely begun articulating her platform.

So far, her campaign website features donate links, merchandise and biographies on her and Tim Walz, but no details about her policies or plans for the country if elected.

The Trump campaign decided to publish it for her, and created a website laying out her positions for voters.

Fox News reports:

“Kamala Harris has yet to tell voters what her policies are, so we thought we'd help them out. Kamala Harris wants to open the borders, raise taxes, and free criminals,” a Trump campaign national press secretary told Fox News Digital about the website. 

Kamala2024policies.com launched Wednesday morning on the third day of the DNC and takes viewers to a website declaring, “Kamala Harris' dangerous policies are nothing to laugh about.” The site details nine policy platforms for the Harris campaign, including declaring Harris fought “to set murderers free,” wants to “abolish the border,” seeks to “eliminate private health insurance” and wants to give illegal immigrants Social Security and Medicare. 

The website also makes a point of calling out some of her flip flops and plagiarizing Trump campaign policies despite her record indicating clear opposition to them.

“Kamala Harris wants to eliminate the Trump tax cuts, which would mean a massive tax hike on middle-income families,” the site says. “Harris was the deciding vote for the ‘Inflation Reduction Act,' which decreased the ‘average after-tax income for taxpayers at every income level. Americans earning less than $200,000/year saw their taxes rise by $16.7 billion in 2023.”

Kamala supporters and staffers have offered a wide array of excuses for the campaign's unusual delay in communicating their priorities to voters, from Kamala being “busy traveling” to being “busy with vice presidential duties” to having less time than usual to prepare. Many are struggling to take these defenses seriously, as all presidential candidates have busy travel schedules, many acting presidents have run for reelection and had to balance White House duties with their campaigns, and Kamala has already run for president, and was preparing to run for vice president, so should have a decent idea of what she envisions for the country.

Historically, presidential candidates have had campaign policy pages readily available for voters. When President Biden was on the campaign trail in 2020, a group of advisers crafted a 110-page policy document, according to The New York Times, which also reported Harris' lack of a campaign platform on her site. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016 had a page with 200 distinct policy proposals on record.
