TLDR:
- Vice President Kamala Harris added a policy section to her campaign website just ahead of a debate, mentioning startups multiple times to appeal to the business tech vote.
- While light on specific details, the page focuses on building up the middle class, supporting small businesses, and highlighting Harris’ commitment to social and economic issues.
Vice President Kamala Harris recently launched a policy section on her campaign website, titled “A New Way Forward,” strategically timed before a debate to thwart potential attacks from former President Donald Trump. The page, although lacking in specifics, emphasizes venture capital multiple times, showcasing Harris’ efforts to appeal to the business tech vote. It highlights the importance of building up the middle class and early on addresses entrepreneurship, particularly in supporting small business investment.
Harris reaffirms her commitment to economic and social issues on the policy page, aiming to oversee 25 million new business applications and expand venture capital to middle America if elected as president. The vice president also mentions supporting AI growth and ensuring national security in the tech sector. The campaign’s alignment with the tech and business community reflects Harris’ pro-business stance, with notable support from corporate figures like Mark Cuban.
While contrasting her policies with the conservative Project 2025 agenda, Harris outlines her economic agenda, including plans to ban grocery price gouging, extend insulin price limits, and expand the Child Tax Credit. Additionally, she commits to building new homes and providing down-payment assistance to new homeowners. Social issues, such as reproductive freedom, also receive attention on the page.
However, Harris remains vague on certain topics like immigration and the war in Gaza. Critics, including Trump, have called out Harris for her limited media appearances and the lack of detailed policy discussions. Despite these criticisms, Harris’ policy page represents her efforts to appeal to a broader audience and establish herself as a candidate with a comprehensive vision for the country’s future.
