KAMALA HARRIS, REPARATIONS, AND GUARANTEED INCOME. Kamala Harris has been running for president for 44 days. So far, even though she is the vice president of the United States, she has not been subjected to the intense scrutiny directed at all other major-party candidates for president who reach this point. Certainly she has not been subjected to a fraction of the scrutiny her opponent, former President Donald Trump, has experienced in the last eight years, in and out of office.
Even Harris’s first run for president, which lasted for 11 months in 2019, far longer than her run today, has not received the attention it should receive. For example, on two controversial topics, reparations and what is known as universal basic income, Harris took positions in her first campaign that have barely been explored in her second.
“I think there has to be some form of reparations, and we can discuss what that is,” Harris told the Root in February 2019. She promised the Rev. Al Sharpton that as president, she would sign into law a measure establishing a reparations study commission. She became a co-sponsor of such a bill in the Senate. Harris was vague about financial reparations or, if so, the size of financial reparations, but she left no doubt that she supported some sort of reparations to “correct course” for black people.
