Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ campaign has clarified that the vice president no longer supports a government ban on plastic straws — a position she took in the 2020 primary.
Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris has flipped on another policy — banning plastic straws.
Harris’ campaign has abandoned the vice president’s previous position from the 2020 Democratic primary in which she stated unequivocally that plastic straws should be banned due to environmental considerations.
“She doesn’t support banning plastic straws”, a campaign official told Axios on Wednesday.
Harris was asked whether she would support a ban on “single use plastics” during a CNN town hall marathon in 2019, and specifically whether she would ban plastic straws.
