Kamala Harris's signature

Kamala Harris, the 49th and incumbent vice president of the United States, announced her 2024 campaign for president on July 21, 2024, [9] after President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for reelection and endorsed her earlier the same day. [10]

Harris, a member of the Democratic Party, rose to national prominence in 2016 during her campaign for the United States Senate. She became more widely known when she sought the party's nomination for the 2020 presidential election but withdrew from the race in 2019. [11] She endorsed Joe Biden and was chosen to be his running mate in 2020. [12] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration in 2021. [13]

Harris advocates a similar domestic platform to Biden, [14] supporting national abortion protections, LGBT+ rights, and legislation to address climate change. [15] She also supports environmental justice and reforms to the immigration system. On foreign policy, she similarly opposes China[ vague] and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but has been more sympathetic to Palestinians during the Israel–Hamas war. [16]

If Harris wins the 2024 Democratic Party nomination, she will become the first Black woman and first Asian American to be nominated for president by a major political party. [17] If elected president, she will become the first female and first Asian-American president of the United States. [18]

On July 22, Harris secured enough delegate endorsements to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee; such endorsements are non-binding until the party's formal vote, [19] [20] which Democratic officials say they will hold beginning August 1 [21] and ending on August 5. [22]

Background

Main articles: Kamala Harris 2020 presidential campaign and Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election

Harris began an initial run for the presidency in January 2019, at the time as U.S. senator from California. [23] In debates, Harris was criticized by opponents over her record as Attorney General of California, notably regarding her past positions on marijuana, cash bail, parole reform, and alleged negligence in investigating police misconduct, among other issues. [24] [25] Stagnant polling and fundraising struggles in November began to signify a possible end to her campaign. Given inconsistencies in staffing, a lack of funds, and a generally poorly managed campaign, she officially withdrew from the Democratic primaries in December 2019. [26] She endorsed Joe Biden on March 8, 2020, [27] and was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020. [12] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration on January 20, 2021. [13]

In October 2023, Harris refused to speculate about what would happen if Biden, the incumbent president and expected Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, were to drop out of the race. Joe Biden's age, which at the time was 80, was being used as a "battering ram" by Republicans. [28] After the first presidential debate on June 27, 2024, concerns grew about then- presumptive nominee Biden's age and fitness to serve a second term. [29] Biden initially pushed back "aggressively" at the idea that he should drop out. [30] On June 28, New York magazine wrote that while most Democrats did not want Harris to replace him, she would be the most likely choice if he were to drop out; she had higher approval ratings than Biden and other Democratic contenders for the 2028 presidential election, like Gavin Newsom. [31]

On social media, in reaction to the debate, users who wanted Harris as the nominee posted an old clip of her asking an audience: " You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," meaning that a person's "substance" is not created independently, but rather is the result of their environment. This video became an Internet meme, and coconuts became a symbol of Harris's campaign; the attention the video brought towards Harris boosted the idea of her being the nominee. [32] " What can be, unburdened by what has been," has similarly surfaced as a meme associated with Harris and her campaign. [33]

By July 3, Harris was being discussed as Biden's potential replacement by senior Democrats, and various Democrats' reactions to the choice ranged from "acceptance to trepidation to resignation". [34] She defended Biden, saying that the debate "wasn't his finest hour" but that "the outcome of this election cannot be determined by one day in June." [35] Nonetheless, her allies began to strategize on how to make her the Democratic choice if he dropped out. [36] She was a frequent target of speeches during the 2024 Republican National Convention from July 15 to 18, with speakers frequently referring to the "Biden-Harris" presidency. [37] [38] On July 17, the campaign for Donald Trump, the Republican candidate in the election, refused to select a date for a vice presidential debate with JD Vance, Trump's running mate, saying that it was unclear who the Democrats' vice presidential nominee would be if Biden were to withdraw. [39]

On July 18, The Hill reported that in the next few days, Biden would make a speech about the future of his political career, and that Congressional Democrats expected Harris to be the new nominee. [40] By July 19, Democrats were "quietly mapping" how Harris would win in the election, [41] but other candidates such as Gretchen Whitmer and Josh Shapiro, were also being considered. [42] Following pressure from Democrats, Biden withdrew from the election on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Harris as his successor. [43]

Campaign

On July 22, Harris received enough state delegate endorsements to win the nomination and become the presumptive nominee. [44] While the endorsements were non-binding, CNN estimated on July 23 she has secured enough delegates to win the nomination. [19]

Announcement

On July 21, 2024, Harris announced her intention to run for the Democratic nomination, [9] and the "Biden for President" campaign committee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to change the name of the committee to "Harris for President". [45]

Fundraising

The day Biden's withdrawal was announced, Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue reported raising more than $50 million, its largest donation day since Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death in 2020. [46] In the first 24 hours of Harris's candidacy, the presidential campaign raised $81 million in small-dollar donations, the highest single-day total of any presidential candidate in history. [47]

Events

Harris held her first campaign rally on July 23, 2024, at the West Allis Central High School gymnasium in the West Allis suburb of Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention was held a week earlier. [48] The event reportedly grew a larger audience than any event held by Biden's 2024 campaign, according to campaign spokesperson Kevin Muñoz, who expected around 3,000 people to attend. [49]

Harris is using Beyoncé's song " Freedom" as the official song for her campaign, having obtained permission from Parkwood Entertainment on the day of her first rally. [50] [51] A digital ad featuring the song debuted on July 25. [52]

Platform

Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris

Harris has framed her campaign as "a choice between freedom and chaos" and based it around the ideals of "freedom" and "the future". [53] [54] The Harris campaign has sought to highlight her experience as an attorney general and a prosecutor to "prosecute the case" against Trump by pointing out his 34 felony convictions. [55] According to reporting from CNN and Fox News, Harris is running as a moderate Democrat, with the latter appearing to criticize her for “revers[ing] course on fracking, ICE, 'Medicare-for-all,' mandatory gun buybacks and the Supreme Court,” which headline editors described as far-left policy positions. [56] [57]

Many of Harris' domestic policy stances are expected to resemble Biden's, with particular focus on reproductive healthcare, criminal justice, and civil rights issues. [14]

One aspect of Harris' campaign messaging has focused on branding Republicans and vice presidential nominee JD Vance as "weird" on multiple occasions. [58] Such comments have come from Harris herself and from allies in the Democratic party such as governor Tim Walz, also a contender for Harris' vice presidential pick. [59] [60] During a campaign fundraiser in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Harris said, "You may have noticed, Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record. And some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it's just plain weird. I mean that's the box you put that in." [61] This and the messaging shift towards "freedom" is a noted departure from Biden's focus on democracy. [53]

Domestic issues

Abortion

Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights. [15]

Economy

Harris has supported strengthening the middle class. [62] Harris has promoted the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funding for small business, and previously supported an act as senator to provide a $6,000 tax credit for middle and low-income families. [15]

Climate change and energy

Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation. [15] Harris helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, [63] the largest investment in addressing climate change and clean energy in US history [64] putting the US on track to meet emissions reduction targets by 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030. [65] Harris's campaign has stated they do not support a ban on fracking. [66] [56]

Healthcare

Harris has supported efforts to strengthen coverage under the Affordable Care Act, [56] including setting caps on seniors' out-of-pocket prescription drug prices at $2,000 and limiting the cost of insulin for those on Medicare to $35 enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. [63] Harris has been a proponent of White House efforts to ban medical debt from credit reports. [62] Harris has stated she does not support a single-payer healthcare system. [56]

Immigration

In 2023, as vice president, Harris announced pledges of US$950 million from private companies into Central American communities to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. [15] She supported a bipartisan bill which would have closed the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents that was rejected by Trump who called on House and Senate Republicans to kill the bill arguing that it would hurt his and Republican's reelection campaigns and deny them the ability to run on immigration as a campaign issue. [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] Harris states she believes the immigration system is "broken" and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this. [15] Her campaign video introduced on July 30, 2024, says, "Kamala Harris supports increasing the number of Border Patrol agents" and paints Trump as unserious on border security. [73]

LGBT rights

Harris is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ movement. [74] In 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, which requires states to recognize same-sex marriages and interracial marriages even as the Supreme Court took aim at marriage equality. [75] At the signing ceremony, Harris and others gave speeches, [76] and Biden presented Harris with a pen as recognition of years of work for marriage equality. [77] In 2023 Harris visited the Stonewall Inn and denounced legislative attacks on transgender rights in states across the country. In July 2024, Harris conducted a fundraiser in the LGBTQ hotspot of Provincetown, Massachusetts. [78] [79]

Social services

Harris has supported the expanded child tax credit enacted in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 that reduced child poverty by 20%. [63] Harris has expressed support for making child care and elder care more affordable and enacting paid family leave. Harris has also expressed support for student debt relief. [62]

Civil rights

Harris supports efforts to improve racial justice. Harris previously supported the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. [15] Harris has supported demilitarizing police departments, and has pushed back against calls to defund the police. [56] Harris was tasked by Biden with protecting democracy through voting rights legislation through her work on the For the People Act. Harris has supported efforts to defend election workers and counter Republican efforts to restrict voting following the 2020 presidential election. [15]

Foreign policy

NATO and Ukraine

Harris meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden's foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [15] [80]

Israel and Palestine

Harris meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog (top) and UN Secretary-General António Guterres (bottom) in discussions on the war and ensuing humanitarian crisis.

A supporter of the two-state solution, [15] [81] Harris is seen as more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, who has described himself as a Zionist and has a long history with Israeli leaders. [80] Despite that, analysts expect that U.S. policy toward Israel would not be greatly affected if Harris is elected. [80] Regarding the Israel–Hamas war, analysts expect Harris to continue Biden's approach. [82] Following Hamas' attack on Israel in 2023, Harris strongly supported Israel's offensive, [83] [82] stating that "the threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated". [15] However, she has since criticized Israel's approach and the Gaza humanitarian crisis. [80] In March 2024, Harris opposed Israel's invasion of Rafah, [15] called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, [82] [15] and stated that the situation in Gaza is a "humanitarian catastrophe". [15] She has described young Americans who are protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza as "showing exactly what the human emotion should be", but said she "absolutely rejects" some of their statements, despite understanding "the emotion behind it." [83] In a speech, Harris was described by USA Today as "coming close to accusing Israel of war crimes" when she said international humanitarian law must be respected in the conflict. [84] Former Biden administration officials said in an interview to Politico that Harris was less committed to the Israel policy and that one was "cautiously optimistic" she would change it. [81] Harris also declined to preside over a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 24, instead going to a campaign event. [85] After the speech, she condemned pro-Hamas protestors, pro-Hamas graffiti and the burning of an American flag at Union Station. [86] The next day, after she met with Netanyahu, she said, "Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters." She continued that Israel must agree to the a ceasefire and hostage deal and work towards a two-state solution, emphasizing Palestinian suffering. [87]

China

Harris meeting with Xi Jinping during the APEC Thailand 2022

During the 2020 vice presidential debate, she criticized former President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports, accusing Republicans of losing the trade war with China and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs as a result. [82]

Harris has advocated for "de-risking" from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing Western economic dependence on China. [88] Harris is expected to continue deepening American alliances in Asia and the Pacific with the intention of curbing China's rising power both economically and militarily. Harris has previously spoken out against human rights abuses in Hong Kong and co-sponsored the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act. [89] Harris has previously stated her support of Taiwan's self-defense, criticized Chinese naval harassment of Philippine vessels, and supported freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. [81] [89]

India

Harris meeting Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C., in 2021

In 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed Article 370, ending the semi-autonomous status of Indian-administered Kashmir. Harris rebuked the move, saying "we must remind Kashmiris that they are not alone in the world." [90] [91] In 2023, Harris entertained Modi at a state dinner and praised the Indian prime minister for his leadership. [92] [93]

Trade

While Harris described herself as "not a protectionist Democrat" during a 2019 primary debate, she has been critical of past free trade deals, stating she would have voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) of 1992 and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) of 2016, and in 2020 voted against the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), however, trade has never been a major focus for Harris, so her positions aren't entirely known. [94] The Center for Strategic and International Studies notes that she has said so little about trade that most analysts have to dig up these old votes and statements and assume that she will continue Biden's policies: for instance, President Biden has maintained most of Trump's tariffs on China and increased some of them, and so likely won't make significant changes. [95] The CATO Institute in 2020 noted that while Harris does not seem to be an economic nationalist, her terms of engagement are a bit uncertain other than that she wants more labor and environmental protections. [96] As a senator, she condemned the persecution of Uyghur and minority women in western China and sponsored Marco Rubio's sanctions punishing human rights abuses in the region, and during the 2019 debates also criticized China for stealing "our products, including our intellectual property" and for dumping "substandard products into our economy". [94]

Endorsements

Main article: List of Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign endorsements

The Democratic Party quickly coalesced around her following Biden's withdrawal and his endorsement of Harris. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats endorsed Harris, including senior officials such as Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and former Speaker and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. [97] [98] Additionally, all Democratic governors have endorsed Harris. [99] On July 26, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Harris in a joint statement. [100]

Vice presidential selection

Main article: 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection
These paragraphs are an excerpt from 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection § Vetting process and developments.

As of July 29, 2024, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Walz were reported to be on Harris's shortlist by various media outlets. [101] [102] [103]

An official reported to ABC News on July 23 that Kelly and Shapiro were the leading candidates, [104] while another source told Talking Points Memo the following day that Roy Cooper was an additional top choice. [105] On July 23, the Financial Times reported that Cooper, Kelly, and Shapiro had become the frontrunners, with donors preferring Cooper or Shapiro and "Hollywood Democrats" backing Kelly. [106]

On July 24, The New York Times reported that Walz was also "under serious consideration". [107]

On July 26, The Washington Post reported that Cooper, Kelly and Shapiro were at the top of Harris's shortlist according to people close to the campaign. [108] MSNBC also reported that the three frontrunners are reportedly at the top of a shortening list. [109] Bloomberg News, however, reported on July 27 that Kelly, Shapiro, and Walz were the three finalists. [110] On July 28, USA Today reported Andy Beshear as "one of the most prominent potential running mates" being vetted by the Harris campaign. [111] On July 29, CNBC reported that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was on the shortlist as Harris's running mate. [112] On July 29, The New York Times reported Cooper had voluntarily withdrawn his name from consideration. [113]

On July 30, The Hill reported that several progressive leaders and political groups have urged Harris to pick Beshear or Walz as her running mate over Shapiro as an attempt to consolidate key voting groups and the Democratic base. [114] Politico reported on July 30 that Harris planned on interviewing potential running mates in the following days. [115]

The Hill also reported on July 30 that while Harris had not yet finalized her running mate choice, she planned on campaigning with her eventual choice in several battleground states the following week. [116] That same day, CBS News reported that Harris will start interviewing her shortlist candidates as early as the next day, with Beshear, Buttigieg, Kelly, Shapiro and Walz being cited as the campaign's 'top tier' list. [117] However a report from CNN on the same day cited Kelly, Shapiro and Walz as "top contenders" while people close to the selection process stated that Beshear and Buttigieg were not top contenders despite being "in conversation". [118]

Polling

Main article: Nationwide opinion polling for the 2024 United States presidential election

As of August 2, Harris has been shown to be narrowly leading in some general election polls and narrowly trailing in others. [119] [120]

Kamala Harris's signature

Kamala Harris, the 49th and incumbent vice president of the United States, announced her 2024 campaign for president on July 21, 2024, [9] after President Joe Biden withdrew his bid for reelection and endorsed her earlier the same day. [10]

Harris, a member of the Democratic Party, rose to national prominence in 2016 during her campaign for the United States Senate. She became more widely known when she sought the party's nomination for the 2020 presidential election but withdrew from the race in 2019. [11] She endorsed Joe Biden and was chosen to be his running mate in 2020. [12] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration in 2021. [13]

Harris advocates a similar domestic platform to Biden, [14] supporting national abortion protections, LGBT+ rights, and legislation to address climate change. [15] She also supports environmental justice and reforms to the immigration system. On foreign policy, she similarly opposes China[ vague] and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but has been more sympathetic to Palestinians during the Israel–Hamas war. [16]

If Harris wins the 2024 Democratic Party nomination, she will become the first Black woman and first Asian American to be nominated for president by a major political party. [17] If elected president, she will become the first female and first Asian-American president of the United States. [18]

On July 22, Harris secured enough delegate endorsements to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee; such endorsements are non-binding until the party's formal vote, [19] [20] which Democratic officials say they will hold beginning August 1 [21] and ending on August 5. [22]

Background

Main articles: Kamala Harris 2020 presidential campaign and Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election

Harris began an initial run for the presidency in January 2019, at the time as U.S. senator from California. [23] In debates, Harris was criticized by opponents over her record as Attorney General of California, notably regarding her past positions on marijuana, cash bail, parole reform, and alleged negligence in investigating police misconduct, among other issues. [24] [25] Stagnant polling and fundraising struggles in November began to signify a possible end to her campaign. Given inconsistencies in staffing, a lack of funds, and a generally poorly managed campaign, she officially withdrew from the Democratic primaries in December 2019. [26] She endorsed Joe Biden on March 8, 2020, [27] and was chosen by Biden to be his running mate on August 11, 2020. [12] After Biden and Harris won the general election, she became the first female vice president of the United States upon her inauguration on January 20, 2021. [13]

In October 2023, Harris refused to speculate about what would happen if Biden, the incumbent president and expected Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election, were to drop out of the race. Joe Biden's age, which at the time was 80, was being used as a "battering ram" by Republicans. [28] After the first presidential debate on June 27, 2024, concerns grew about then- presumptive nominee Biden's age and fitness to serve a second term. [29] Biden initially pushed back "aggressively" at the idea that he should drop out. [30] On June 28, New York magazine wrote that while most Democrats did not want Harris to replace him, she would be the most likely choice if he were to drop out; she had higher approval ratings than Biden and other Democratic contenders for the 2028 presidential election, like Gavin Newsom. [31]

On social media, in reaction to the debate, users who wanted Harris as the nominee posted an old clip of her asking an audience: " You think you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist in the context of all in which you live and what came before you," meaning that a person's "substance" is not created independently, but rather is the result of their environment. This video became an Internet meme, and coconuts became a symbol of Harris's campaign; the attention the video brought towards Harris boosted the idea of her being the nominee. [32] " What can be, unburdened by what has been," has similarly surfaced as a meme associated with Harris and her campaign. [33]

A Biden/Harris yard sign with Biden's name removed, in Oakland, California, the day after Biden withdrew

By July 3, Harris was being discussed as Biden's potential replacement by senior Democrats, and various Democrats' reactions to the choice ranged from "acceptance to trepidation to resignation". [34] She defended Biden, saying that the debate "wasn't his finest hour" but that "the outcome of this election cannot be determined by one day in June." [35] Nonetheless, her allies began to strategize on how to make her the Democratic choice if he dropped out. [36] She was a frequent target of speeches during the 2024 Republican National Convention from July 15 to 18, with speakers frequently referring to the "Biden-Harris" presidency. [37] [38] On July 17, the campaign for Donald Trump, the Republican candidate in the election, refused to select a date for a vice presidential debate with JD Vance, Trump's running mate, saying that it was unclear who the Democrats' vice presidential nominee would be if Biden were to withdraw. [39]

On July 18, The Hill reported that in the next few days, Biden would make a speech about the future of his political career, and that Congressional Democrats expected Harris to be the new nominee. [40] By July 19, Democrats were "quietly mapping" how Harris would win in the election, [41] but other candidates such as Gretchen Whitmer and Josh Shapiro, were also being considered. [42] Following pressure from Democrats, Biden withdrew from the election on July 21, 2024, and endorsed Harris as his successor. [43]

Campaign

On July 22, Harris received enough state delegate endorsements to win the nomination and become the presumptive nominee. [44] While the endorsements were non-binding, CNN estimated on July 23 she has secured enough delegates to win the nomination. [19]

Announcement

On July 21, 2024, Harris announced her intention to run for the Democratic nomination, [9] and the "Biden for President" campaign committee filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to change the name of the committee to "Harris for President". [45]

Fundraising

The day Biden's withdrawal was announced, Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue reported raising more than $50 million, its largest donation day since Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death in 2020. [46] In the first 24 hours of Harris's candidacy, the presidential campaign raised $81 million in small-dollar donations, the highest single-day total of any presidential candidate in history. [47]

Events

Harris held her first campaign rally on July 23, 2024, at the West Allis Central High School gymnasium in the West Allis suburb of Milwaukee, where the Republican National Convention was held a week earlier. [48] The event reportedly grew a larger audience than any event held by Biden's 2024 campaign, according to campaign spokesperson Kevin Muñoz, who expected around 3,000 people to attend. [49]

Harris is using Beyoncé's song " Freedom" as the official song for her campaign, having obtained permission from Parkwood Entertainment on the day of her first rally. [50] [51] A digital ad featuring the song debuted on July 25. [52]

Platform

Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris

Harris has framed her campaign as "a choice between freedom and chaos" and based it around the ideals of "freedom" and "the future". [53] [54] The Harris campaign has sought to highlight her experience as an attorney general and a prosecutor to "prosecute the case" against Trump by pointing out his 34 felony convictions. [55] According to reporting from CNN and Fox News, Harris is running as a moderate Democrat, with the latter appearing to criticize her for “revers[ing] course on fracking, ICE, 'Medicare-for-all,' mandatory gun buybacks and the Supreme Court,” which headline editors described as far-left policy positions. [56] [57]

Many of Harris' domestic policy stances are expected to resemble Biden's, with particular focus on reproductive healthcare, criminal justice, and civil rights issues. [14]

One aspect of Harris' campaign messaging has focused on branding Republicans and vice presidential nominee JD Vance as "weird" on multiple occasions. [58] Such comments have come from Harris herself and from allies in the Democratic party such as governor Tim Walz, also a contender for Harris' vice presidential pick. [59] [60] During a campaign fundraiser in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Harris said, "You may have noticed, Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record. And some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it's just plain weird. I mean that's the box you put that in." [61] This and the messaging shift towards "freedom" is a noted departure from Biden's focus on democracy. [53]

Domestic issues

Abortion

Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights. [15]

Economy

Harris has supported strengthening the middle class. [62] Harris has promoted the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, funding for small business, and previously supported an act as senator to provide a $6,000 tax credit for middle and low-income families. [15]

Climate change and energy

Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation. [15] Harris helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, [63] the largest investment in addressing climate change and clean energy in US history [64] putting the US on track to meet emissions reduction targets by 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030. [65] Harris's campaign has stated they do not support a ban on fracking. [66] [56]

Healthcare

Harris has supported efforts to strengthen coverage under the Affordable Care Act, [56] including setting caps on seniors' out-of-pocket prescription drug prices at $2,000 and limiting the cost of insulin for those on Medicare to $35 enacted as part of the Inflation Reduction Act. [63] Harris has been a proponent of White House efforts to ban medical debt from credit reports. [62] Harris has stated she does not support a single-payer healthcare system. [56]

Immigration

In 2023, as vice president, Harris announced pledges of US$950 million from private companies into Central American communities to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. [15] She supported a bipartisan bill which would have closed the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents that was rejected by Trump who called on House and Senate Republicans to kill the bill arguing that it would hurt his and Republican's reelection campaigns and deny them the ability to run on immigration as a campaign issue. [67] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] Harris states she believes the immigration system is "broken" and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this. [15] Her campaign video introduced on July 30, 2024, says, "Kamala Harris supports increasing the number of Border Patrol agents" and paints Trump as unserious on border security. [73]

LGBT rights

Kamala Harris and Douglas Emhoff participating in the Capital Pride Walk and Rally on June 12, 2021

Harris is a strong supporter of the LGBTQ movement. [74] In 2022, President Joe Biden signed the Respect for Marriage Act, which requires states to recognize same-sex marriages and interracial marriages even as the Supreme Court took aim at marriage equality. [75] At the signing ceremony, Harris and others gave speeches, [76] and Biden presented Harris with a pen as recognition of years of work for marriage equality. [77] In 2023 Harris visited the Stonewall Inn and denounced legislative attacks on transgender rights in states across the country. In July 2024, Harris conducted a fundraiser in the LGBTQ hotspot of Provincetown, Massachusetts. [78] [79]

Social services

Harris has supported the expanded child tax credit enacted in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 that reduced child poverty by 20%. [63] Harris has expressed support for making child care and elder care more affordable and enacting paid family leave. Harris has also expressed support for student debt relief. [62]

Civil rights

Harris supports efforts to improve racial justice. Harris previously supported the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. [15] Harris has supported demilitarizing police departments, and has pushed back against calls to defund the police. [56] Harris was tasked by Biden with protecting democracy through voting rights legislation through her work on the For the People Act. Harris has supported efforts to defend election workers and counter Republican efforts to restrict voting following the 2020 presidential election. [15]

Foreign policy

NATO and Ukraine

Harris meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden's foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [15] [80]

Israel and Palestine

Harris meeting with Israeli President Isaac Herzog (top) and UN Secretary-General António Guterres (bottom) in discussions on the war and ensuing humanitarian crisis.

A supporter of the two-state solution, [15] [81] Harris is seen as more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, who has described himself as a Zionist and has a long history with Israeli leaders. [80] Despite that, analysts expect that U.S. policy toward Israel would not be greatly affected if Harris is elected. [80] Regarding the Israel–Hamas war, analysts expect Harris to continue Biden's approach. [82] Following Hamas' attack on Israel in 2023, Harris strongly supported Israel's offensive, [83] [82] stating that "the threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel must be eliminated". [15] However, she has since criticized Israel's approach and the Gaza humanitarian crisis. [80] In March 2024, Harris opposed Israel's invasion of Rafah, [15] called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, [82] [15] and stated that the situation in Gaza is a "humanitarian catastrophe". [15] She has described young Americans who are protesting against Israel's actions in Gaza as "showing exactly what the human emotion should be", but said she "absolutely rejects" some of their statements, despite understanding "the emotion behind it." [83] In a speech, Harris was described by USA Today as "coming close to accusing Israel of war crimes" when she said international humanitarian law must be respected in the conflict. [84] Former Biden administration officials said in an interview to Politico that Harris was less committed to the Israel policy and that one was "cautiously optimistic" she would change it. [81] Harris also declined to preside over a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on July 24, instead going to a campaign event. [85] After the speech, she condemned pro-Hamas protestors, pro-Hamas graffiti and the burning of an American flag at Union Station. [86] The next day, after she met with Netanyahu, she said, "Israel has a right to defend itself, and how it does so matters." She continued that Israel must agree to the a ceasefire and hostage deal and work towards a two-state solution, emphasizing Palestinian suffering. [87]

China

Harris meeting with Xi Jinping during the APEC Thailand 2022

During the 2020 vice presidential debate, she criticized former President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on Chinese imports, accusing Republicans of losing the trade war with China and losing hundreds of thousands of jobs as a result. [82]

Harris has advocated for "de-risking" from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing Western economic dependence on China. [88] Harris is expected to continue deepening American alliances in Asia and the Pacific with the intention of curbing China's rising power both economically and militarily. Harris has previously spoken out against human rights abuses in Hong Kong and co-sponsored the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act and Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act. [89] Harris has previously stated her support of Taiwan's self-defense, criticized Chinese naval harassment of Philippine vessels, and supported freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. [81] [89]

India

Harris meeting Narendra Modi in Washington, D.C., in 2021

In 2019, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed Article 370, ending the semi-autonomous status of Indian-administered Kashmir. Harris rebuked the move, saying "we must remind Kashmiris that they are not alone in the world." [90] [91] In 2023, Harris entertained Modi at a state dinner and praised the Indian prime minister for his leadership. [92] [93]

Trade

While Harris described herself as "not a protectionist Democrat" during a 2019 primary debate, she has been critical of past free trade deals, stating she would have voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) of 1992 and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) of 2016, and in 2020 voted against the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), however, trade has never been a major focus for Harris, so her positions aren't entirely known. [94] The Center for Strategic and International Studies notes that she has said so little about trade that most analysts have to dig up these old votes and statements and assume that she will continue Biden's policies: for instance, President Biden has maintained most of Trump's tariffs on China and increased some of them, and so likely won't make significant changes. [95] The CATO Institute in 2020 noted that while Harris does not seem to be an economic nationalist, her terms of engagement are a bit uncertain other than that she wants more labor and environmental protections. [96] As a senator, she condemned the persecution of Uyghur and minority women in western China and sponsored Marco Rubio's sanctions punishing human rights abuses in the region, and during the 2019 debates also criticized China for stealing "our products, including our intellectual property" and for dumping "substandard products into our economy". [94]

Endorsements

Main article: List of Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign endorsements

The Democratic Party quickly coalesced around her following Biden's withdrawal and his endorsement of Harris. The vast majority of Congressional Democrats endorsed Harris, including senior officials such as Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and former Speaker and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. [97] [98] Additionally, all Democratic governors have endorsed Harris. [99] On July 26, former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama endorsed Harris in a joint statement. [100]

Vice presidential selection

Main article: 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection
These paragraphs are an excerpt from 2024 Democratic Party vice presidential candidate selection § Vetting process and developments.

As of July 29, 2024, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Walz were reported to be on Harris's shortlist by various media outlets. [101] [102] [103]

An official reported to ABC News on July 23 that Kelly and Shapiro were the leading candidates, [104] while another source told Talking Points Memo the following day that Roy Cooper was an additional top choice. [105] On July 23, the Financial Times reported that Cooper, Kelly, and Shapiro had become the frontrunners, with donors preferring Cooper or Shapiro and "Hollywood Democrats" backing Kelly. [106]

On July 24, The New York Times reported that Walz was also "under serious consideration". [107]

On July 26, The Washington Post reported that Cooper, Kelly and Shapiro were at the top of Harris's shortlist according to people close to the campaign. [108] MSNBC also reported that the three frontrunners are reportedly at the top of a shortening list. [109] Bloomberg News, however, reported on July 27 that Kelly, Shapiro, and Walz were the three finalists. [110] On July 28, USA Today reported Andy Beshear as "one of the most prominent potential running mates" being vetted by the Harris campaign. [111] On July 29, CNBC reported that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was on the shortlist as Harris's running mate. [112] On July 29, The New York Times reported Cooper had voluntarily withdrawn his name from consideration. [113]

On July 30, The Hill reported that several progressive leaders and political groups have urged Harris to pick Beshear or Walz as her running mate over Shapiro as an attempt to consolidate key voting groups and the Democratic base. [114] Politico reported on July 30 that Harris planned on interviewing potential running mates in the following days. [115]

The Hill also reported on July 30 that while Harris had not yet finalized her running mate choice, she planned on campaigning with her eventual choice in several battleground states the following week. [116] That same day, CBS News reported that Harris will start interviewing her shortlist candidates as early as the next day, with Beshear, Buttigieg, Kelly, Shapiro and Walz being cited as the campaign's 'top tier' list. [117] However a report from CNN on the same day cited Kelly, Shapiro and Walz as "top contenders" while people close to the selection process stated that Beshear and Buttigieg were not top contenders despite being "in conversation". [118]

Polling

Main article: Nationwide opinion polling for the 2024 United States presidential election

As of August 2, Harris has been shown to be narrowly leading in some general election polls and narrowly trailing in others. [119] [120]
