In a surprising revelation on Tuesday, it was discovered that Vice President Kamala Harris' "Issues" page on her campaign website bore striking similarities to that of former President Joe Biden's campaign page.
This discovery was made public by The New Republic, which reported that the source code of the page indicated direct copying from Biden's campaign page. This comes after Biden's withdrawal from the race in July, following internal party pressure and his subsequent endorsement of Harris as his successor.
According to The Post Millennial, Harris, who entered the race over a month and a half ago, has recently announced her policy plans. These include stringent price controls on food and groceries, support for a border bill that would still permit at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants into the country, a proposed ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and a $25,000 down payment program for first-time home buyers.
However, a New York Times poll released over the weekend revealed that 60 percent of likely voters believe the next president, to be elected in November, should represent a significant departure from the policies of the current administration. Only 25 percent of respondents felt that Harris represented this change, while 53 percent believed that former President Trump did.
Despite the striking similarities between her policies and Biden's, Harris has been attempting to distance herself from the former president. In August, her advisors informed Axios that Harris aims to diverge from Biden on issues where he is unpopular. They further stated that Harris does not wish to be solely defined by the Biden-Harris administration's record, which has been marred by both foreign and domestic failures.
Axios reported that a significant aspect of Harris's strategy is to unashamedly alter some of her more liberal positions, asserting that her experience in the White House has influenced her change of mind.
