Vice President Harris is doing an about-face on several far-left policies as she distances herself from President Biden and attempts to make a name of her own as the Democratic presidential nominee.
In her first policy speech in North Carolina later this week and then next week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Harris plans to present to Americans who she is and how she will govern essentially for the first time since Biden backed out of the race and endorsed her presidential campaign.
In recent weeks, Harris has shifted on at least five major policy stances: mandatory assault rifle buybacks, fracking, immigration, health care and a federal jobs guarantee.
While campaigning for president in 2019, she endorsed a mandatory buyback program for assault rifles.
"We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program," Harris said in October 2019, according to NBC News. "It’s got to be smart, we got to do it the right way. But there are 5 million [assault weapons] at least, some estimate as many as 10 million, and we’re going to have to have smart public policy that’s about taking those off the streets, but doing it the right way."
In 2024, a Harris spokesperson says she wouldn’t push a mandatory buyback program for assault rifles. …Read more
