Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has said Vice President Kamala Harris “owes it to the American people” to explain what she would do if elected president, but she has yet to announce her campaign pledges.
Speaking to the Democratic National Convention audience on Wednesday, Walz outlined Harris’s plans for the presidential run and encouraged people to “save and send” excerpts from his speech to their undecided relatives.
“We have a chance to make Kamala Harris the next president of the United States,” Walz told the crowd, “but before we ask for her vote, I think we owe it to the American people to tell them exactly what she would do if she were president.”

“If you’re a middle-class family or a family trying to become middle-class, Kamala Harris will cut your taxes,” Walz told the audience. “If you’re struggling with the price of prescription drugs, Kamala Harris will stand up to Big Pharma. If you’re looking to buy a home, Kamala Harris will help make home buying affordable. And no matter who you are, Kamala Harris will stand up and fight for your freedom to live the life you want.”
The appeal did not offer any specific policy proposals or priorities for a hypothetical administration.
This reflects a lack of specificity noted in nearly all campaign media releases so far, including the Harris-Waltz campaign website.

The official Harris-Waltz campaign website, as of Thursday morning, offered short bios of both Democratic candidates as well as donation and volunteer information but did not include an outline of the campaign’s policies.
Despite becoming the party’s presumptive nominee 31 days ago, Harris has yet to hold a formal press conference or hold in-person interviews with the media to detail her vision for a Harris administration.
Instead, she held campaign rallies and rallies around the country, addressed crowds and made only off-the-record comments to reporters during the campaign.
