Harris Doubles Down On Failed Policies In Newly Unveiled Platform

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz doubled down on supporting failed policies in their newly released policy platform, which they unveiled just hours before this week’s presidential debate against former President Donald Trump.

The roughly 4,500-word platform was heavy on platitudes, did not go deep on many policy issues, and gave few explanations about how she expected to implement her agenda other than repeatedly saying she would “fight” for it.

She branded her agenda as a “New Way Forward” despite her already being at the helm for nearly four years in the Biden-Harris administration. Nowhere in her platform did she explain how her approach would differ from what she is currently doing.

The platform repeatedly linked Trump to a think tank’s “Project 2025” agenda, even though Trump has no links to the project and has thoroughly disavowed it.

Harris doubled down on her plan for how she will get people in homes with her “comprehensive plan to build three million more rental units and homes that are affordable to end the national housing supply crisis in her first term.”

Nowhere does she explain who will build the units and she once again insisted on jacking up demand and housing costs by giving first-time buyers $25,000 in down payment assistance.

She also declared that she will sign legislation to “outlaw new forms of price fixing by corporate landlords” without mentioning that it will first have to pass Congress.

Harris plans to magically create an “Opportunity Economy” in which people will submit 25 million new business applications by the end of her first term.

She once again doubled down on Soviet-style price controls, which do not work, to bring down costs that have surged in recent years because of her role in triggering the inflation crisis.

“She will go after bad actors who exploit an emergency to rip off consumers by calling for the first-ever federal ban on corporate price gouging on food and groceries,” her platform states. “And she’ll keep fighting to bring down prescription drug costs by taking on pharmacy middlemen, who raise consumers’ prices for their own gain and squeeze independent pharmacies’ profits.”

She doubled down on the socialist agenda of making health care “a right” and “not a privilege” — which is unconstitutional and incredibly stupid.

Harris signaled that she will continue to fight against the oil and gas industry and try to expand green energy, which is one of the top reasons that energy costs have skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration.

She will magically enact an agenda that “advances environmental justice, protects public lands and public health, increases resilience to climate disasters, lowers household energy costs, creates millions of new jobs, and continues to hold polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all,” her platform stated.

Harris will support abortion and her platform gave no indication that she supports any kind of limits on it, meaning that she will support abortion up until the moment of birth.

Immediately after the section titled, “SAFEGUARD OUR FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS,” Harris declared that she will go after Americans’ Second Amendment rights.

She said that she will ban semi-automatic firearms, commonly used magazines, and that she will support laws that strip Americans of their due process rights by taking their firearms without going through the court system.

Her campaign tried to paint her disastrous border record as strong despite overseeing the worst 4-year period of illegal immigration in recorded U.S. history in which more than 10 million illegal aliens have flooded into the U.S.

Harris proposes in her platform rewarding the millions who broke federal law by illegally coming into the U.S., where they have wreaked havoc on communities across the country, by rewarding them with a “pathway to citizenship.”

Spin Cycle: Debate Night Is Looming, And Harris Has Everything To Lose

For those who don’t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week’s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.

The ABC presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is looming, so naturally the media’s focus is on what could happen when the two finally face off for all the marbles.

On ABC’s “This Week,” both Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR) and former Governor Chris Christie (R-N.J.) were asked to weigh in on how Trump was likely to prepare for a debate against Harris.

Sanders began with a jab at Harris’ persistent avoidance of the press since she vaulted to the top of the Democratic Party’s 2024 ticket, pointing out the fact that the American people knew Trump much better than they knew Harris because she has yet to answer any real policy questions.

“It’s so rare that we hear from her, that we hear her take questions or that we know anything that she actually stands for,” she said, arguing that the debate was more of a “must-win” for Harris than it was for Trump.

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tells @JonKarl the debate Tuesday is “more important” for Kamala Harris than Donald Trump.

Sanders, who previously served as Trump’s White House Press Secretary, went on to say that he was preparing for a hostile debate environment every day by taking questions from an adversarial press and doing interviews while Harris hid behind campaign aides who quietly “leaked” her flip-flops to friendly media outlets.

“He’ll go in game time ready just as he does for every interview, every rally that he does. This is not something that is a heavy lift for him,” she said. “Every day is debate prep for Donald Trump.”

Christie also weighed in on the debate during a panel discussion moderated by host Jonathan Karl, and he argued that Trump was not likely to prioritize debate prep ahead of Tuesday’s event. “He’s just going to go in there and wing it,” he claimed.

Former NJ Gov. Chris Christie, who helped prep Donald Trump for previous debates in 2016 and 2020, says the former president doesn’t think he needs to prepare for his face-off with Vice Pres. Kamala Harris.

Karl also brought in Martha Raddatz, who moderated a debate between Trump and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in 2016, to talk about her impressions – and she suggested that Trump’s tendency to debate the moderators as well as his opponents could prove a “challenge.”

“He would go after the moderators too. I mean, specifically, try to debate us, and that was a challenge,” she explained.

Voters in the swing state of Pennsylvania, according to Philadelphia-based NBC News reporter Lauren Mayk, are hoping to hear some “specifics” from both candidates on Tuesday. Mayk joined a panel discussion on “Meet the Press,” where she told host Kristen Welker that at least one voter had put it to her this way: “I think I know their ideas. I want to know their policies.”

Welker also pointed out the fact that despite Harris being a sitting senator throughout Trump’s entire first term as president, Tuesday’s debate will be there first time the two meet in person.

On “Fox News Sunday,” Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) told anchor Shannon Bream that the number-one thing that Trump needed to do at Tuesday’s debate was to “let Kamala Harris talk, something she’s been reluctant to do unless she was reading a teleprompter.”

Bream then quoted The New York Times’ assessment of the situation, calling the debate “a high-risk encounter” for Harris, as it would be the longest time she’s spent in the spotlight, unscripted, since becoming the Democratic Party’s de facto nominee when President Joe Biden was forced off the ticket.

Former Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told Bream that Harris definitely had the most to lose going into Tuesday’s debate — and said that the battle was likely to be uphill: “Let’s be honest, Donald Trump is the best counter-puncher in the history of American politics.”
