    Platform Main article: Political positions of Kamala Harris Domestic issues Abortion Harris supports national protections for abortion, which were reversed after Roe v. Wade (1973) was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022). Under the Biden administration, she prominently campaigned for abortion rights.[20]

    Climate change Harris is an advocate for environmental justice to address the impact of climate change on lower-income areas and people of color. Under Biden, she supported his climate legislation.[20]

    Immigration As vice president, Harris invested US$950 million into Central American companies to address the causes of mass migration, such as poverty. She supported a proposed bill which would close the border if too crowded and fund border patrol agents. She believes the immigration system is “broken” and needs to be fixed, and she says most Americans believe this.[20]

    Foreign policy NATO and Ukraine Harris is expected and has signaled to generally follow Biden’s foreign policy on NATO and Ukraine, supporting both in the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[20][21]

    Israel–Hamas war Harris is noted to have tougher positions on Israel than Biden. She supported Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the aftermath of its attack on Israel, but criticized it throughout the war because of the Gaza humanitarian crisis. She also has been noted to be more allied to progressive Democrats who oppose Israel.[20][21][22] Under the Biden administration, she called for a ceasefire and pushed for more humanitarian aid.[23] Reports have said she is more sympathetic to Palestinians than Biden, though it is disputed whether she would immediately change policy.[24][25]

    China Like Biden’s administration officials, Harris has advocated for “de-risking” from Beijing, a policy that encourages reducing the economic dependence on China.[26] She also raises the issues of Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan, etc., just like any other Democrat government, with the intention of curbing China’s rising power both economically and militarily.[27] Chinese social media does not look favorably on her candidacy,[28] and is more familiar with other candidates, such as Antony Blinken.[29] Chinese public opinion believes that she will lose to Trump.[29]

      That’s a persuasive list and I like it. I like it more than Biden’s history at least where Israel & Palestine are concerned.

      Dunno what issue you have with it, but if you’re going to reply directly TWICE to the main thread… Then it clearly bothers you.
