Long-awaited release Vice President Kamala Harris policy Seven weeks after announcing his candidacy for the presidential election, Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio is facing fierce criticism from social media users.
“It's been 50 days since Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic nominee. At midnight yesterday, she finally released her campaign policy pages. Here are my thoughts on them,” Vance wrote to X on Monday.
In multiple, exhaustive threads, the Ohio senator slammed Harris's push to cut middle-class taxes and cited her own tie-breaking vote to hire 87,000 IRS agents to audit more people.
“Last summer, 63% of new audits [on] “Taxpayers earning less than $200,000.” Hillbilly Elegy The author wrote:
“The Biden-Harris bill now requires businesses to fill out 1099K forms for any transactions over $600 made using third-party payment platforms. Given this reporting requirement, it's even harder to pretend that taxing working men and women isn't their focus,” he added. “The reporting threshold before the bill was signed into law was $20,000.”
The senator says the Biden-Harris Administration's tax reform plan would actually increase taxes by $5 trillion.
“This will be compounded with her inflationary climate spending bill, which will drag our economy down even further,” he noted, blasting Harris' other claims, such as trying to make homeownership more achievable while allowing migrants to easily cross the southern border.
Journalist Kyle Becker responded to Vance's scathing criticism of the vice president's policies:
“Kamala Harris couldn't talk policy for 50 days and @JDVance stayed up all night criticizing everyone, hilarious.” [sic] “He thoroughly criticized every detail of her policies,” the former Fox News reporter wrote.
“We will see who is better qualified to be president and vice president,” Becker added.
When progressive commentator Brian Krassenstein argued that Harris' policies “will appeal most to middle-class Americans, not corporations or billionaires,” Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino responded, “That's just someone [with] A man who served a year on his local city council and has the brains to speak fluently about anything that comes to his mind.”
“The proposal includes details such as the income limits for her 'middle class' tax cuts,” he said, noting that Harris has not defined what she means by 'middle class.'
Monica Page, a reporter for One America News Network, also criticized Harris, saying her initiative, titled “A New Way Forward,” fell short because she has “supported Biden and his policies for the past three and a half years.”
Yet another X user, Michael Leary, likened Harris' lofty goals to those of someone running for middle school class president.
“'Let's serve pizza in the school cafeteria every day. Let's replace the school's water fountains with free chocolate milk dispensers.' Kamala Harris must be running for middle school class president,” he wrote.[These] These are not plans or policies, but vague talking points issued in desperation.”
Another poster pointed out that the page in question repeatedly mentions “Trump's Project 2025 Agenda,” an initiative not conceived or supported by the former president.
“After 7 weeks, Kamala has finally released her policy. Four of the links on her policy page are to 'Trump's Project 2025 Agenda,' even though Trump has made it clear multiple times in the past that he will not be involved with it,” the commenter said.
“She's also saying the border system isn't working, despite having served as a border control officer for four years… and now she wants to crack down on misinformation?”
