Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has taken a creative approach to shed light on Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies—or rather, the glaring absence of them. As she navigates her presidential campaign following Joe Biden’s unexpected exit, Harris has managed to keep prospective voters in the dark about what her administration might entail. Trump’s team, sensing an opportunity, unleashed a dedicated website to address this void. The website, aptly named kamala2024policies.com, outlines what they believe her policies would look like, much to the delight of conservatives who have become increasingly exasperated with leftist ideologies.
Four weeks into her campaign, it would appear that Harris is either too busy polishing her résumé or simply strategizing on how to avoid discussing any substantive policies. While she has hinted at a handful of economic positions, her campaign page gives almost no insight. Trump’s campaign, however, bravely took the initiative to detail nine significant “policy” areas that reflect Harris’s past sentiments—some might call this a corrective course of action in a world where clarity usually takes a backseat to political ambiguity.
Kamala Harris Doesn‘t Have a Policy Page, So Trump Created One For Her
Tired of waiting, the Trump campaign created https://t.co/CqiL9bG5bC, which describes Harris’s policies — as the Trump campaign sees them.https://t.co/0uTUc7uJdR pic.twitter.com/DSosJmW4kd

The Trump campaign did not hold back in its assessment. Voices from their ranks claim that Harris has been nothing short of a harbinger of chaos. They establish her role in opening the southern border to a flood of illegal immigration and dangerous drugs, labeling her the “Order Czar.” Furthermore, she is characterized as the crucial vote in favor of numerous progressive spending bills that have sent taxes – and consequently, prices – skyrocketing for average, hardworking Americans. In the eyes of Trump supporters, these actions need to be highlighted as Harris attempts to spin her history into something more palatable as she seeks the highest office.
Each policy section on the site is a critique that could have come straight from a conservative playbook. It paints a portrait of a candidate who supposedly champions policies that prioritize criminals over the law-abiding citizens of this country. The sections range from “Fighting to Set Murderers Free” to “Eliminate Private Health Insurance,” making it clear that Harris’s track record includes ideas which even the most ardent progressive might hesitate to endorse in polite company. There is something almost amusing about the notion that Harris, who has long been seen as further left than the socialist archetype of Bernie Sanders, is attempting to avoid confronting the ramifications of her past stances.
Unveiled during the Democratic National Convention, this endeavor highlights the strategic disarray within the party. Democrats often seem hesitant to get into the nitty-gritty of their actual policies. This creates an arena where Trump’s team can capitalize on transparency and issues with their opponents’ unwillingness to be upfront about their plans. The reality is that providing voters with clear contrasts—such as Trump’s policies versus the largely ambiguous Harris platform—might be the ticket for energizing the conservative base and calling out perceived hypocrisy from the other side.
In a political landscape where many feel they are spinning in circles, the Trump campaign’s proactive website serves as a reminder that sunlight is a powerful disinfectant. The antics of Democrats surrounding their chosen candidates are ripe for mocking scrutiny, and thanks to this website, the conservative narrative can unabashedly lay out its case against Vice President Harris and her unorthodox political decisions. It seems the more Harris tries to distance herself from her historical positions, the more material she unwittingly provides to those who are ready to hold her accountable.
