Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Harris added policy proposals to her campaign website 50 days after President Biden exited the race.
Vice President Harris finally added policies to her campaign website for the first time since President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her in the presidential race 50 days ago.
The website breaks Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’ policy proposals into four sections: „Build an Opportunity Economy and Lower Costs for Families“, „Safeguard Our Fundamental Freedoms“, „Ensure Safety and Justice For All“, and „Keep America Safe, Secure, and Prosperous.“
Before the new addition, Harris‘ campaign website had pages to buy merchandise, donate and get to know the candidate’s background, but was devoid of any policy plans for weeks even after she formally accepted the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago 17 days ago.
Harris’s website now includes a promise to cut taxes for middle class families by „ensuring no one earning less than $400,000 a year will pay more in taxes.“ The website promises that Harris and Walz „will ensure the wealthiest Americans and the largest corporations pay their fair share, so we can take action to build up the middle class while reducing the deficit“, including by „rolling back Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, enacting a billionaire minimum tax, quadrupling the tax on stock buybacks, and other reforms to ensure the very wealthy are playing by the same rules as the middle class.“
The website touts a plan to give more than 100 million working and middle-class families a tax cut by restoring the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. It says Harris and Walz will also expand the Child Tax Credit to provide a $6,000 credit to families with newborn children.
