Supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris are rallying behind her campaign despite admitting that they can’t say where she stands on most big issues – as the Democratic nominee continues to flip-flop on major policies.
Harris, 59, has reversed her stances on energy issues, health care and illegal immigration since replacing President Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket, in an apparent effort to make herself more electable to moderates in key swing states.
Harris’ abandoned policy positions include her pledges to eliminate private health insurance, decriminalize illegal border crossings, ban fracking for oil and natural gas, and ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035 — each of those made in 2019 when the then-California senator was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.
In recent weeks, The Post has spoken to several swing-state voters who plan to cast ballots for Harris. The majority of them painted a vague picture of what the vice president stands for – “pro-choice” and “the environment.”
But the main reason they’re backing Harris is because she is not former President Donald Trump.
“I would say I believe she is more moderate? in terms of immigration. In the sense that she’s not like let’s let everyone in,” Aaliyah Dittman, a 20-year-old college student from Clarion County, Pa., told The Post when asked about Harris’ position on the border and immigration.
“But I feel like she’s kind of similar to Biden,” Dittman, a first-time voter excited about Harris, added. “And that’s the difficult thing. As she is still the vice president, she has to pull herself apart from the administration and say this is what I stand for and maybe she hasn’t done a great job doing that.”

They don’t know and they don’t care to know. However, they will still be voting...willfully uninformed.
Anything is fair game as far as liberals are concerned. Ends justifies the means.
Conservatives are STILL trying to play nice with liberal's and liberal's DON'T play nice and conservatives NEVER learn. Gets disheartening.
We may call them stupid, uninformed, voting with feelings, and so on. But their votes weight the same as everyone in FR. And there are many of them.
It means, to win we have to at least listen to what they said. Trump campaign needs to work on his image and packaging too, not just substance.
We live in an era where substance and packaging come hand in hand.
Yeah, I hammer on this too.
We act like we’re at a cotillion, slapping each other with gloves and stating we “do declare!” when slighted.
The libs are breaking wine bottles and trying to slice our heads off with them.
Sounds like we live in sissyville.
We better educate them properly or we’re going to die at the hands of communists.
I did my part, pisses me off I’m going to have to do your part too.
Yup. A bar room brawl with the lights out. Conservatives just don’t get it....
Hey pal, you’re on the wrong site. This is a CONSERVATIVE web site. We’re not about playing nice with liberals.
“Not even Kamala Harris’ biggest fans can say what the flip-flopping VP stands for”
That’s easy. Stick your finger in the wind. There you go.
...now you know why Plato hated Democracy.
Why should we put conservatism vs good packaging that appeals to different groups of people? We can have good messages with good packaging that is tailored to certain demographics or generations.
Even in the Bible (see 1 Cor 9: 19-23) we see this principle.
Much too late, for EVERYONE has a formed opinion of the Trump that they either adore or hate.
There are NO Rip Van Winkles around to change the outcome of the next election!
Statistics say that 25% of women have had an abortion.
Do any of you first time voters ever feel like you have a missing sibling somewhere?
Guy looks like one of “The Zanti Outcasts.’’
Maybe 2 or 3 points in all the swing states.
Yup. EWWWWW! I remember watching this episode of “The Outer Limits’’ when I was a kid.
Scared the day lights out of me!
