What does Kamala Harris stand for? Over the course of a few short days, Vice President Kamala Harris has practically ascended to the spot left vacant by President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday, and gobbled up his delegates. She's the presumed nominee come convention time (which will happen later in August) and, naturally, the subject of a spate of recent flattering mainstream media pieces. Depending on who you ask, she is endearingly memeable. She is "underestimated." She's even "brat," claims a CNN panel that doesn't really know what they're talking about but is using pop star Charli XCX's endorsement as a way to claim Harris has influence with Gen Z.
Speculation abounds about who Harris will pick to run her campaign and who will serve as her running mate. But everyone's oddly light on the actual policy specifics. She's beginning to run a campaign, so stop with the forced pop culture references; what does Harris actually believe?
