This summary captures major elements of proposals and records of Vice President Kamala Harris during her tussle with Donald Trump in the presidential elections scheduled in 2024:
Tax Plan
Harris’s objective as to the tax policy is to be helpful to families in many areas like increasing the child tax credit up to $6000 for parents with newborns. Managing the tax policy to the majority of Americans from low-income families as well as high-income individuals and their corporations aims at tax concessions while raising tax rates for the rich and corporations. He proposes increasing the start-up expense deduction for small companies from $5,000 to $50,000, which should stimulate the U.S. economy. On the contrary, Trump supports a prolongation of the already existing tax cuts of 2017, which were exceptionally favorable for upper-income groups.
Housing
In the housing sector, Harris addresses the issue of the housing imbalance by stating the plan to construct three million units of cheap housing before the expiration of her first term coupled with the availability of loans for nonhome owners who are paying house rent for over two years. Her plan is mainly targeting improving home ownership to first home buyers and for citizens from first-home-owning families.
Child Tax Credit
Harris is in favor of returning the child tax credit to fathers and all caregivers in the 3,600-dollar for children less than 5 years and 6,000 dollars for children less than 1 year of age. Trump’s running mate even suggested increasing the child tax credit to five thousand dollars.
Inflationary Vortex Harris’s
Harris is committed to combating inflation, and her plan includes helping American families with high prices inflated by large businesses, addressing prescription drug costs, and enhancing the Inflation Reduction Act, which she helped enact while serving as vice president. She emphasizes the need to address corporate abuse as well, even though economic experts believe the price gouging laws would be ineffective in curbing inflation because of the social factors surrounding it.
Immigration
Harris has been silent on subjects detailing the immigration order, nevertheless, she states that she will make border security a bipartisan issue once again and accepts an importation of the undocumented population which offers an earned path for citizenship. Despite moderate changes in her previous approach toward the de-criminalization of unlawful migrations, she has concentrated on the reinforcement of border enforcement onboard.
Abortion and IVF
Harris advocates abortion issues and stresses that such bills would be passed in the United States on restoring a woman’s access to abortion. She has also addressed her concerns regarding the future of surrogate motherhood as her eyes and ears are to the court decisions that restrict IVF procedures.
Climate Policy
Kamala Harris still supports the clean energy initiatives under the provisions of the Inflation Relief Act that aims to lower carbon levels by 40% within the year 2030. She has backed off from her stance on the prohibition of fracking by vowing that there will be no ban on the controversial technique in some states.
Firearms
Kamala Harris has supported related laws and thus, assuming that gun control is considered the Biden administration’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, this is again due to the continued passivity of the public that wields any considerable understanding of ‘class B’, school gun violence potential. Harris has also supported the introduction of regulations that would allow law enforcement to take away gun ownership rights from people who pose a danger to others.
International Relations
As for the other countries, Harris follows the tradition of American foreign policy aiming at close alliances, NATO in particular and stresses further military financing for Ukraine against Russia. On the issue of China, she argues that it is important to have a constructive relationship with China while holding them accountable for actions in the South China Sea and Taiwan and its policy against China. Regarding the nuclear agreement with Iran, her position has been rather ambiguous partly because this remains complicated and the Obama administration’s policy has changed since she was in favor of re-entering the agreement after some time conditions.
