President Joe Biden, left, and Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris speak about the administration’s efforts to lower prescription drug costs during an event at Prince George’s Community College in Largo, Md., Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024.
Harris hasn’t released a detailed list of her policy positions since taking over the top of the Democratic ticket, though her campaign aides have suggested she no longer adheres to some of the more liberal positions she took during her first run for president in 2020, including endorsing a ban on hydraulic fracturing.
The Democrats’ proposed platform runs to 80 pages and concentrates on painstakingly laying out how the Biden-Harris ticket is different from Trump, language which can still apply even if the party’s ticket is now different. That means the holdover draft platform aligns with many of her views — though the fact that the candidate names haven’t been changed suggests that the new ticket hasn’t had as much input as is typical in crafting the list of what it is supposed to fight for if it wins the White House.
