Kamala Harris campaign posts policy positions on website after criticism
Vice President Kamala Harris has been criticized for not having her policy positions prominently available on her website, but that ended Sunday.
The media and some conservatives have suggested Harris is relying on "vibes" instead of listing her specific positions on issues facing our nation. But her campaign sought to put an end to that line of attack this weekend, just two days before the much-anticipated debate during which she is set to face off against Donald Trump.
The Harris campaign posted an "issues" page on the website, promising to "build an opportunity economy and lower costs for families."

The new page also includes information for how Harris and Tim Walz will "cut taxes for middle class families," "make rent more affordable and home ownership more attainable," and "grow small businesses and invest in entrepreneurs."
Eric Michael Garcia, columnist for MSNBC, said, "Kamala Harris's campaign has policies on her website. On the disability beat, Harris pledges to end subminimum wage labor for people with disabilities and 'expanding high-quality home care services for seniors and people with disabilities.'"
Scott Lemieux, a progressive blogger, also replied: "Harris has an extensive issue page up now, but don't worry about reading it, it will surely generate a huge amount of coverage from the reporters who claimed that its absence was a big deal."
Jill Stein-supporting Professor Anthony Zenkus said, "Kamala Harris finally puts an 'Issues' page on her website, 49 days later. And here's what it has to say about minimum wage: 'she'll fight to raise it', but no number. No amount. It's been $7.25 an hour for 15 years and she can't even say a number."
"Best of luck, working class!" he added on Sunday.
