A shorthand guide I had made as of 8/27/24 to talk about VP Harris policies since becoming nominee as there were more articles than usual bemoaning a lack of interviews ahead of the Bash 1 in this thread. These are *SOME* she had put out either in speeches, pooled press events, or other releases:
Things happening about this time last yr re the Harris campaign (8/27/24):
Yet another Kamala Harris ad was released talking about her housing plan & pointing out that more than 100 million Americans would get a tax cut under her economic plan. x.com/adimpact_pol...

It was masterful. The screaming Mimi's don't understand political strategy. The shutdown was just long enough for the new premiums to drop last week so people could see what a bloodbath it was going to be. R's will never be able to outrun this. And Dems ensured SNAP & Fed workers will be safe. 💅

THIS time, SNAP can not be defunded during said shutdown. If the Senate refuses to hold a vote on extending healthcare credits, shutdown. They just won't have the ability to starve people as a brutal negotiation tactic next time as the CR includes full SNAP funding for the rest of the fiscal year 😏

The CR is a short-term funding measure through January. So if R's reneg on any of the elements agreed upon in negotiation including continuing to fire federal workers or neglecting to negotiate with dems on 3 of the 12 appropriations bills, we likely fall back into shutdown. Only ...

I am a NO on any vote that raises premiums for nearly one in four people in my district.
I believe that in the richest country on the face of the Earth, families deserve to get the care they need when they need it — and I will fight like hell to make that a reality.

That means SNAP funds will be delayed further.
