Kamala Harris certainly finds herself in a pickle as she prepares for the debate against former President Donald Trump, a situation that promises to be anything but smooth sailing. According to Dr. Ben Carson, the former head honcho of Housing and Urban Development, Harris isn’t exactly the most authoritative source on her own policy positions. In fact, Carson quipped that she relies heavily on her aides to keep her informed about what she supposedly believes. That sounds less like a candidate confident in their platform and more like someone playing a game of political telephone.
The stakes are higher for Harris as evidence mounts that her newly unveiled policy ideas may not be original at all. Instead of cleverly crafted plans to take the country forward, it appears she’s been indulging in some copy-and-paste action straight from Biden’s former reelection campaign playbook. It turns out that when presenting her “new” agenda, the Harris campaign might just be recycling Biden’s old proposals, proving that innovation in the Democratic camp might be as elusive as a unicorn.

Despite being the Democratic nominee for over a month, Harris only recently rolled out an actual policy page, boldly titled “A New Way Forward.” How forward-thinking can one be while serving as the Vice President in the current administration? That seems to be a puzzling contradiction, but then again, logic has never been a strong suit for the left. Not surprisingly, the internet has also revealed traces of Biden’s campaign lurking in Harris’ new ideas. Metadata hints at old Biden campaign ties, making it hard to tell where Harris ends and Biden begins.
If the evidence of policy plagiarism wasn’t enough, her problematic articulation of past positions has raised eyebrows. During a CNN interview, Harris appeared to dodge questions about her shifting stances, insisting her “values have not changed.” But Caron pointed out the glaring disconnect: while Donald Trump will come to the debate loaded with his well-documented, consistent policies, Harris will essentially be working hard to dodge accountability for her own past ideas. This is what you call a “lose-lose” proposition for Democrats.
Carson is absolutely correct in suggesting that Harris may not have a clue about her own positions. Voters deserve transparency from their candidates, yet they’re left wondering where the real Kamala Harris stands on critical issues. Will she plunge back into the radical progressive pool she campaigned in during the 2020 primaries, cling to the Biden agenda, or feign a moderate approach to woo more conservative constituents? Whatever the case, Americans can be sure that when it comes to Kamala Harris, they’re dealing with a candidate whose grasp on policy is as solid as jello.
