Vice President Kamala Harris, who has yet to do a solo interview since President Joe Biden decided to end his reelection campaign in early July, has finally added her policy priorities to her campaign website just ahead of her Tuesday debate with GOP nominee Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
As reported<\/a> by Fox News, the website breaks Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz\u2019 policy proposals into four sections: \u201cBuild an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families,\u201d \u201cSafeguard Our Fundamental Freedoms,\u201d \u201cEnsure Safety and Justice For All,\u201d and \u201cKeep America Safe, Secure, and Prosperous.\u201d<\/p>\n Before the recent update, Harris\u2019 campaign website featured pages for merchandise purchases, donations, and information about the candidate\u2019s background but lacked any policy plans for weeks, even after she formally accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago 17 days ago, Fox noted.<\/p>\n Harris\u2019s website now includes a pledge to trim taxes for middle-class families by \u201censuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes.\u201d<\/p>\n The website promises that Harris and Walz \u201cwill ensure the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations pay their fair share, so we can take action to build up the middle class while reducing the deficit,\u201d including by \u201crolling back Trump\u2019s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, enacting a billionaire minimum tax, quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks, and other reforms to ensure the very wealthy are playing by the same rules as the middle class.\u201d<\/p>\n It should be noted that even after the Trump-era reform, which cut taxes for more than 85 percent of earners, nearly all income taxes are currently paid by the wealthiest 10 percent of earners.<\/p>\n \u201cUnder her plan, the tax rate on long-term capital gains for those earning a million dollars a year or more will be 28 percent, because when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-based economic growth and creates jobs, which makes our economy stronger,\u201d the website says.<\/p>\n The site also claims that Harris\u2019 \u201clowering costs agenda is a stark contrast to Donald Trump\u2019s plans to jack up prices, weaken the middle class, cut Social Security and Medicare, eliminate the Department of Education and preschool programs like Head Start, and end the Affordable Care Act.\u201d<\/p>\n Much of the Harris website\u2019s policy section focuses on attacking her opponent. Under each policy section, Harris includes a subsection on what she calls \u201cTrump\u2019s Project 2025 Agenda,\u201d which the former president has repeatedly said he was never involved with and has criticized much of it. The plan was created by the conservative Heritage Foundation.<\/p>\n Harris\u2019 website also asserts that Trump would ban abortion and restrict in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, despite Trump saying exactly the opposite.<\/p>\n Trump has stated that he would not implement a federal abortion ban and recently suggested that he would consider ensuring that the government or insurance companies cover fertility treatments.<\/p>\n Regarding the economy, Harris claims that Trump\u2019s \u201cplans would increase costs for families by at least $3,900 a year by slapping a Trump sales tax on imported everyday goods that American families rely on, like gas, food, clothing, and medicine,\u201d and would raise rents and add $1,200 a year to the typical American mortgage. But inflation has set records under the Biden-Harris administration, while it was extremely low during Trump\u2019s term.<\/p>\n The site also says Trump will implement the Project 2025 agenda if elected \u201cto consolidate power, bring the Department of Justice and the FBI under his direct control so he can give himself unchecked legal power and go after his opponents, and rule as a dictator on \u2018day one.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n But again, it\u2019s been the Biden-Harris administration that has utilized the Justice Department to go after its primary political opponent \u2014 Trump \u2014 while the former president never oversaw any prosecutions against Hillary Clinton despite alleging multiple violations of the law during his campaign against her.<\/p>\n The post Harris Finally Adds Policy Priorities To Campaign Website<\/a> appeared first on Conservative Brief<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vice President Kamala Harris, who has yet to do a solo interview since President Joe Biden decided to end his reelection campaign in early July, has finally added her policy priorities to her campaign website just ahead of her Tuesday debate with GOP nominee Donald Trump.
