The vice-president has supported Biden’s agenda but her own position is less clear-cut
US vice-president Kamala Harris may be the undisputed frontrunner for the Democratic party’s presidential nomination, but despite being in the public eye for decades her position on some key policy areas is unclear. Harris was first elected as district attorney of San Francisco in 2003. She later served as attorney-general of California before being elected to the US Senate in 2017. She ran a shortlived presidential campaign of her own before being selected as Joe Biden’s running mate in 2020.
She has insisted she is “not a protectionist Democrat”, although she has opposed past trade deals — including then-president Barack Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership — because of a lack of sufficient environmental protections.
