Where Does Harris Stand

September 6, 2024

Apologies everyone for the long read - we have been on August break. Let’s do this.

Does Kamala Harris support or oppose an EV mandate? Depends.

Kamala Harris is running an interesting presidential campaign where she refuses to take policy positions. Things have gotten so bad that even the media has started to notice.

One recent example is Harris’ recent refusal to take a position on mandating EVs. Here’s Axios:

Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign won't say whether she supports requiring automakers to build only electric or hydrogen vehicles by 2035 — a position she took during her 2020 campaign for president.

Why it matters: Since taking over President Biden's campaign in July, Harris has been light on policy details.
