Kamala positions:
Foreign policy
Harris has largely supported Joe Biden on international affairs, and has increasingly represented him at major meetings including the Munich Security Conference and the Ukraine peace summit. Yet it’s also one of the few areas where she’s staked out some of her own positions. She diverged from Biden in March when she called for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza.

Economics
The vice-president has been a staunch supporter of the president’s efforts to bring down inflation. She’s also championed Biden’s legislation to boost infrastructure investment and accelerate the pivot to clean energy. As vice-president she has focused her efforts on the “care economy”, including access to affordable childcare and aid to senior citizens. On trade, she’s insisted that she is “not a protectionist Democrat”, but she’s opposed deals including the Trans-Pacific Partnership because of a lack of environmental protections.

Abortion
After the US Supreme Court struck down the constitutional right to an abortion in 2022, Harris became the Biden administration’s leading voice calling for a law that would guarantee access to the procedure. Democrats believe Harris will be a stronger messenger on the issue than Biden, who had in the past supported abortion restrictions.

Law and order
Harris is a career prosecutor, elected as San Francisco’s district attorney in 2003. When she ran for president in 2020, some progressives criticised her record of being “tough on crime”. However, her positions on policing and issues of racial justice appear to have moved to the left in recent years. She’s voiced support for criminal justice reform and legalising marijuana.

Immigration
Early in his tenure, Biden gave Harris the somewhat thankless task of addressing the root causes of surging Latin American migration to the US. This made her the poster child of one of Democrats’ biggest political vulnerabilities. While she stumbled in early interviews on the topic and came under fire even from within her own party, blame has shifted in recent months after Donald Trump torpedoed the bipartisan border security deal to deny Democrats a legislative victory.
