Vice President Kamala Harris recently addressed questions regarding her evolving positions on fracking and immigration, emphasizing that while her stances have shifted, her core values remain unchanged. During a joint interview with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris elaborated on how her time as vice president has provided her with new perspectives on critical national issues.
When questioned about her reversals on fracking and decriminalizing illegal border crossings, Harris acknowledged the changes and attributed them to a deeper understanding gained through experience and exposure to new information.
