Vice President Kamala Harris has finally released a policy platform on her official campaign website.
The policy platform, titled "New Way Forward," seeks to align her campaign more closely with the mainstream political views while addressing key issues that have defined her tenure and political identity.

In a section labeled "safeguard[ing] our fundamental freedoms," Harris declared her opposition to a national abortion ban, pledging to sign any bill that restores reproductive freedom nationwide.
She also disclosed her commitment to pushing for the passage of the "Equality Act," a controversial measure that mandates legal protections for LGBTQ+ individuals across various sectors, including business, education and public spaces. The act would also require employers and educators to use the preferred pronouns of every person, allow transgender athletes to compete in sports based on their gender identity and obligate health care providers to offer so-called "gender-affirming" care, even for minors.
Harris' platform also endorses the "John Lewis Voting Rights Act" and the "Freedom to Vote Act," which seeks to strengthen voting rights protections, expand vote-by-mail options and increase early voting opportunities.
The Democratic presidential nominee also proposes a range of economic measures under the theme of creating an "opportunity economy." These include expanding child tax credits, increasing government spending on affordable housing, providing direct payments to first-time homebuyers and taking legal action against corporations for price gouging. She also calls for supporting the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), strengthening Social Security and Medicare through higher taxes on the wealthy and investing in infrastructure, education, child care and clean energy.
Moreover, the Harris campaign agenda outlines plans to "ensure safety and justice for all," advocating for stronger gun control measures, immigration reform through a "bipartisan" border security bill and the elimination of presidential immunity. The platform also supports "common-sense Supreme Court reforms," including imposing term limits on justices and requiring them to adhere to ethics rules that govern other federal judges.
On foreign policy, Harris promises to maintain the strength and security of America by standing firm against dictators, pursuing peace efforts in conflict zones such as Gaza and investing in future-facing industries like semiconductors, so-called "clean" renewable energy and artificial intelligence.
Harris campaign tries to counter Project 2025 Agenda in her policy platform
These platforms contrast with "Trump's Project 2025 Agenda," an initiative spearheaded by The Heritage Foundation that seeks to provide a comprehensive plan for the next presidential administration to overhaul the federal government.
According to Rob Bluey, editor of The Daily Signal, the 900-page document is "a coalition of 110 conservative organizations developing a transition plan for the next presidential administration." Bluey stressed that the project is "nonpartisan and available to whoever occupies the White House in January 2025."
Project 2025 is part of The Heritage Foundation’s "Mandate for Leadership" series, which has compiled conservative policy recommendations for U.S. lawmakers and presidents since 1981. The document lays out a series of proposals to reduce bureaucratic inefficiency and overreach in Washington, D.C.
The initiative has faced considerable backlash from left-wing politicians and commentators, with some labeling it a threat to democratic governance. In line with this, the Harris campaign seeks to position itself as a moderate alternative to the more extreme elements of the Trump agenda, particularly in areas such as reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ equality and voting access.
