Vice President Kamala Harris is strategically positioning herself against former President Donald Trump as she sets forth her policy vision ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Harris, who ascended to the nomination after President Biden's withdrawal, is filling out her platform with promises such as ending federal taxation of tipped earnings for lower- and middle-income workers.

Harris's announcement mirrors Trump's recent policy, prompting Trump to criticize her for adopting his ideas. Harris's initial weeks as a nominee have seen her distancing from her 2020 liberal stances, instead advocating for consensus-driven solutions. Her team highlights the successes achieved through bipartisanship during the Biden-Harris administration.

As Trump wages personal and policy attacks on Harris, her campaign emphasizes pragmatic and bipartisan approaches to governance, aiming to appeal to a broader electorate. Harris has indicated that detailed policy frameworks focused on economic stability and affordability will be unveiled soon, seeking to establish her leadership credentials independent of Biden's legacy.
