Minutes After Harris Releases Policies, JD Vance Blasts Them One by One
Minutes After Harris Releases Policies, JD Vance Blasts Them One by One

Kamala Harris has been noticeably quiet lately. Since becoming the presumptive Democratic nominee, she’s been avoiding the media like the plague. Her campaign was a virtual ghost town when it came to policy details. For weeks, nothing. No plans, no strategies. It’s like she was hoping no one would notice. Well, they did. And just when the silence was deafening, she finally released her policies in the dead of night. Classy move.

What does she propose? Well, her policies don’t exactly scream “fresh ideas.” They’re a continuation of the Biden-Harris administration’s playbook. Open borders, price controls, the works. But don’t take my word for it. Senator JD Vance went through the proposals and didn’t hold back. In a thread on X, he took her policies apart, point by point.

From The Post Millennial:
JD Vance rebutted policy proposals released on Sunday by Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, rebutting each point one by one. Harris’ proposals would continue many policy plans of her current Biden-Harris administration, such as allowing for mass illegal immigration, and addressed her new plans for price controls. The Harris camp said she would “grow the economy” and “secure the border.”

Vance didn’t mince words when it came to Harris’ economic ideas. She claimed to be cutting taxes for the middle class, but Vance pointed out the reality: more IRS audits and increased reporting burdens on small businesses. Remember those 87,000 new IRS agents Biden-Harris hired? Well, guess who’s getting audited? Working families. More than 60% of the audits target folks making less than $200,000. So much for cutting taxes. Vance highlighted how the administration’s focus is squarely on squeezing every last dollar out of hardworking Americans.

And it doesn’t stop there. Harris’s economic plans include more burdens on small businesses, especially with the now-infamous 1099-K form for transactions over $600. This used to only apply to transactions over $20,000. Thanks to the Biden-Harris crew, businesses are now required to report every little transaction, piling paperwork on top of already stressed-out entrepreneurs. It’s clear whose side they’re on—and it’s not the middle class.

Vance didn’t just stop at the economy. Harris’ immigration stance also got the senator’s attention. She talks about securing the border, but her record shows the opposite. When she was supposed to be in charge of the border crisis, she shrugged it off. Now, she’s claiming she’ll fix it? Hard to believe when she’s been an advocate for sanctuary policies and lenient immigration laws. Vance was quick to remind everyone that Harris’ border bill could potentially allow millions of illegal immigrants to pour in before the border is “closed.”

Oh, and that $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers? Vance skewered that too, pointing out how it could actually raise home prices by—you guessed it—$25,000. No surprise there. Throw more money into the mix, and prices go up. Harris also didn’t mention whether this would apply to illegal immigrants. Vance, however, did.

The rebuttal didn’t miss Harris’ record on veterans, either. She claims she’ll support them, but Vance clarified it: actions speak louder than words. Harris hasn’t even bothered to call Gold Star families after the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. If Harris cared about veterans, she would’ve demanded accountability. But she didn’t.

And that pretty much sums up Harris’ policies: all talk, no action. Vance, on the other hand, isn’t letting her off the hook.

Key Takeaways:

  • IRS Audits: Harris’ tax plan adds 87,000 IRS agents, increasing audits on middle-class families and burdening small businesses.
  • Immigration Flip-Flop: Harris claims to secure the border but supports sanctuary policies and weak immigration enforcement.
  • Veteran Neglect: Harris hasn’t reached out to Gold Star families or pushed for accountability after the Afghanistan withdrawal.
