Beth Brelje writes for the Federalist about deficiencies in Kamala Harris’ campaign policy priorities.
It would have been so embarrassing if former President Donald Trump called out Vice President Kamala Harris during the debate for having no agenda on her website.
The vapid vice president has been widely criticized for running an elusive campaign devoid of any specific agenda since July when she slipped into the last leg of the race for which she was not a primary candidate. But she could not skate on the “thank God Joe’s not running” enthusiasm forever.
It probably was not a coincidence that Harris released her agenda for the first time mere days before the big debate with Trump. It prevented Trump from saying she had no agenda on her website. Instead, he had a chance to search through the lengthy paragraphs and try to find the few specifics she offers amid all the fluff.
In places where Harris’ platform does include any specifics, she seems to have copied her agenda from others, like a cheating student looking at his neighbor’s test paper.
For example, her previous agendas never mentioned “eliminat[ing] taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” but after Trump announced this summer he would end taxes on tips, now it appears in her platform.
On Monday, The New Republic released a report detailing how the launch of Harris’ platform agenda page likely reveals an “embarrassing copy-paste” job, as the headline indicates.
“Shortly after Kamala Harris released her policy agenda on Sunday evening, users on X spotted something in the metadata: Much of the language appears to have been lifted from Joe Biden’s campaign website,” the report reads, noting how one user “pointed out” how “language urging voters to reelect Joe Biden” was “visible when links to the campaign site were shared, and in the website’s description on Google searches.”
“All of this creates the impression that at least some of the Harris campaign’s policy language was copied and pasted from Biden’s documents,” the report continues.
