In her first interview as the Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris declared she would not ban fracking if elected, stating that her stance has remained consistent since 2020. Harris emphasized that as Vice President, she did not ban fracking and reiterated that she would uphold this position as President. Recent polling shows Harris leading Donald Trump by 4 points, with notable gains among women and Hispanic voters, while Trump remains strong among white voters and men. Harris' shift from previously supporting a fracking ban to now endorsing it aligns with her belief that a thriving clean energy economy can coexist with fracking. Additionally, she advocated for a strong approach to immigration enforcement, suggesting there should be consequences for unauthorized border crossings, while highlighting her background in law enforcement. This nuanced positioning reflects her efforts to appeal to a broader voter base ahead of the November election.
