Harris Alleged to Have Duplicated Biden’s Policies
In Google’s search results, Kamala Harris’ campaign website informed users to “re-elect Joe Biden today.” Read Full Article at RT.com.
Harris declared her run for the presidency in July, following a debate where Biden seemed physically and mentally diminished, leading to his campaign suspension. Harris's campaign garnered initial enthusiasm among Democrats. However, she has faced growing criticism for avoiding unscripted interviews and not sharing her policy proposals sooner.
On Sunday, in response to these criticisms, Harris's campaign updated her website to include a new 'issues' section. However, a Twitter user named Corinne Green pointed out that the metadata of this section – which is typically hidden from casual web browsers – was identical to that on Biden’s now-inactive campaign site.
The metadata included a remnants of text intended for Biden’s campaign, visible in shared links or in Google search results, according to coverage by The New Republic, a left-leaning publication.
The oversight was quickly addressed, and the website now accurately promotes Harris's current campaign, stating, “Vice President Harris and Governor Walz are fighting for a New Way Forward.”
"The New Republic" highlighted the potential risks of this situation for Harris, noting that a recent New York Times poll indicated that over 60% of voters are seeking a significant departure from Biden’s policies, while only a quarter believe Harris is capable of providing that shift.
While the 'issues' section now features Harris’s economic plans, including grants for first-time homeowners and measures against corporate price-fixing, many of these proposals closely resemble those of Biden, with only superficial adjustments.
Harris is set to debate Trump on an upcoming Tuesday night on ABC News, with current polls showing a very close race between them, particularly in key swing states.
