Inside Harris’s worldview
Good morning and welcome to US Election Countdown! Today let’s dig into:
If Kamala Harris wins the White House, she will enter the Oval Office with one of the least articulated foreign policy visions of any incoming president in modern US history.
But a sketch of her philosophy has started to appear [free to read]. The vice-president is a “realist” or “pragmatist”, according to people familiar with her thinking, though she doesn’t like being pigeonholed.
As tensions in the Middle East escalate, Donald Trump has claimed that Harris would be unprepared to lead the country. Her allies, however, are excited about Harris’s potential to bring in the perspective of a younger generation.
“I don’t think there’s any president that implements the prior president’s foreign policy wholesale,” Democratic senator Chris Murphy told the FT’s Alec Russell and Felicia Schwartz. “It’s likely she has departures from [Joe] Biden’s foreign policy in the Middle East.”
Yesterday, on the first anniversary of Hamas’s October 7 attack, Harris reiterated her staunch support for Israel and its right to defend itself, as she did following Iran’s ballistic missile strike on the country last week. But her remarks on the scale of civilian deaths in Gaza have led to speculation that she could be tougher on Israel than Biden. . . . Register for the FT to keep reading the newsletter for free.

2moFirstly, we know nothing of Vice President Harris policy. However, she has been the #2 elected executive in the current government. Therefore, it is fairly obvious that - in the face of no attempt to explain anything - we can assume that the same people running the country behind the shadows of Biden’s empty mind will continue to run the country through the puppet that will be Kamala’s empty mind. Kamala win = more of what you’ve had from 2020 to present until she says otherwise. Logic…
