Kamal Harris has no policies.
That you have been bothered to read about,
https://kamalaharris.com/issues/Your argument seems like a projection, given that Trump finds himself in a difficult position. He hasn't developed a policy platform because he has never needed to. He was not a president concerned with policy, he aspired to be a monarch-like head of state, leaving policy-making to others.
His ambitions were never about the country, they were always about himself and being president.
Now, when pressed about policy, he relies on others who have devised Project 2025, a dystopian vision embodying extreme right-wing ideologies that would strip everyday Americans of their freedoms.
Unsurprisingly, this agenda is widely unpopular, prompting Trump to distance himself from it.
This distancing, however, has left a policy vacuum. His current stance?
Healthcare: "Concepts of a plan."
Immigration: "Close the borders, deport illegal Haitians (who are, in fact, legal) to Venezuela."
Economy: "20% tariff on all imports, 100% on China," which would effectively raise taxes on Americans at home.
Alternatively, he might embrace Project 2025, but either option would be disastrous for the people of the USA.
The criticism of Harris serving as Vice President for three years seems misplaced, especially when considering that Trump had a full term and the same amount of time as Harris to formulate his own policies.
Now, with less than 60 days until the election, he still offers nothing more than vague "concepts of a plan."
It would be a monumental mistake to frame the contest between Trump and Harris in terms of policy.
The recurring theme among the Republican/MAGA faction this election cycle has been a series of self-inflicted blunders.
