Harris posts long-awaited policy page ahead of Philadelphia debate

Vice President Kamala Harris has updated her campaign website to provide details on her policy positions after weeks of criticism that she is running a light-on-substance campaign.

The issues page , published a day before her debate with former President Donald Trump in Philadelphia, details what her campaign is calling her "New Way Forward" approach to politics, which she introduced during her nomination speech at last month's Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

The page is divided into four sections, which break down her plans to build an "opportunity economy" and decrease the cost of living , protect "fundamental freedoms" such as abortion access , ensure "safety and justice for all," and keep America "safe, secure, and prosperous" should she be elected president in November. It also tries to underscore differences between her policy positions and those proposed by the Heritage Foundation through the conservative think tank's Project 2025.

Trump, who has released his own Agenda 47 website , has disavowed Project 2025 but continues to face Democratic attacks.

The new issues page from the Harris campaign coincides with a New York Times-Siena College poll over the weekend that indicates her political honeymoon could be coming to an end. It found Trump ahead by a single point nationally among likely voters.

The policy page also comes before Tuesday's highly anticipated debate between Harris and Trump on ABC, during which she is expected to be pressed on a series of policy reversals she has made since her 2020 run for president.

Harris's economic section reiterates much of the plan she announced last month in North Carolina and last week in New Hampshire, including the first-ever federal corporate price-gouging ban, a $25,000 first-time homebuyers grant program, and a 28% capital gains tax rate .

"Vice President Harris grew up in a middle class home as the daughter of a working mom," the campaign wrote. "She believes that when the middle class is strong, America is strong. That’s why as President, Kamala Harris will create an Opportunity Economy where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed — whether they live in a rural area, small town, or big city."

Her immigration policy , under the "safety and justice" section, simply repeats her support for the bipartisan border security bill, which is no longer on the table after Trump criticized the deal earlier this year.

"Vice President Harris believes that no one is above the law," the campaign additionally wrote. "She’ll fight to ensure that no former president has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House ."

"She will also support common-sense Supreme Court reforms — like requiring justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imposing term limits — to address the crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court," it continued.

Sunday's New York Times-Siena College poll found that 28% of voters need more information about Harris, who only entered the race in July, compared to 9% for Trump.
