The website, kamala2024policies.com, addresses a range of topics including the inflationary effects of Bidenomics, border security concerns, Harris’ support for the Green New Deal, and her stance on private health insurance. These issues are presented as critical points of concern for American voters, highlighting the Trump campaign’s focus on policy-driven discourse in contrast to what they describe as the vague messaging of Harris’ campaign.
One of the key issues highlighted on the website is the economic impact of the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill passed in March 2021. The website notes that Harris cast the tie-breaking vote for this bill, which many economists, both liberal and conservative, have identified as a significant factor contributing to the soaring inflation rates seen during the Biden administration, with prices rising over 20 percent since Biden took office.
On the topic of border security, the website emphasizes Harris’ role as the so-called “border czar,” a position she was appointed to oversee. The website criticizes her handling of what it describes as “the worst border crisis in U.S. history,” noting that there have been over 10 million illegal border crossings under the Biden-Harris administration when including known “gotaways.” This is a staggering contrast to the approximately 2 million encounters recorded during the entire four years of Trump’s presidency.
In addition to these concerns, the website also revisits Harris’ endorsement of the Green New Deal during her time as a senator in 2019. This controversial piece of legislation, aimed at drastically reducing fossil fuel usage, was projected to cost between $50 trillion and $90 trillion over a decade. FactCheck.org highlights that the plan also aimed to provide universal health care, housing, and economic security—ambitious goals that have drawn both praise and criticism.
Harris’ position on health care is another focal point of the Trump campaign’s website. As a senator, she co-sponsored the “Medicare-for-All” bill introduced by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2017, a plan estimated by the Urban Institute to cost $32 trillion over ten years. During her 2019 presidential run, Harris explicitly supported the elimination of private health insurance, stating during a CNN town hall, “Let’s eliminate all of that.”
However, Harris appears to have softened her stance in recent weeks, with her campaign signaling that Medicare-for-All would not be a priority if she were elected president. Despite this apparent change in position, the Trump campaign suggests that Harris would likely support such legislation if passed by Congress, given her long-standing support for the policy.

The Trump campaign’s website dedicated to Harris goes beyond these points, addressing a total of nine critical issues, each accompanied by linked citations for further reading. The website’s comprehensive approach stands in stark contrast to Harris’ current campaign strategy, which critics argue has lacked substantive policy discussion.
As the 2024 election draws nearer, the contrast between Harris’ “joy” campaign and Trump’s policy-heavy approach could play a significant role in shaping voter perceptions. With the Trump campaign seizing the initiative to define Harris’ record for her, the coming months will reveal whether Harris will respond with a more detailed policy platform of her own.
