With just one day before the Democratic convention, the party released its platform emphasizing Joe Biden’s key achievements and policy differences from Kamala Harris. The platform, which mentions Biden’s “second term” multiple times, was approved by the Platform Committee before Biden’s exit from the race. Despite some variations, both candidates stress key Democratic priorities like improving infrastructure and supporting unions.
The document also addresses Harris’s plans to provide greater subsidies for first-time homebuyers and increased tax relief for families with young children. Divided into nine chapters, the platform highlights issues ranging from climate change to securing the southern border. Additionally, it outlines the party’s stance on Israel and calls for a lasting ceasefire in Gaza.
Overall, the platform showcases the historic work of Biden and Harris and presents a progressive agenda for the next four years. It aims to strengthen democracy, lower costs, and combat gun violence while addressing critical issues facing the nation today.
