Topline Vice President Kamala Harris updated her campaign website Sunday night to elaborate on her policy views ahead of Tuesday’s debate against former President Donald Trump, giving a more fleshed-out picture of her views on issues like gun violence, immigration and abortion, though she still has not given many concrete policy proposals outside of economic issues.

Key Facts
Harris’ campaign website was updated to include an “issues” section over the weekend, which includes four sections on the economy, protecting “fundamental freedoms,” ensuring “safety and justice” and keeping America “safe, secure and prosperous.”
Each section also includes a section decrying “Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda” and the policies proposed by the ex-president and conservative activists on various issues, as the Harris campaign has repeatedly sought to emphasize Trump would impose an extreme policy agenda (Trump has distanced himself from Project 2025, a hard-right agenda not officially affiliated with his campaign, though some of its authors served in his administration).
Though Harris outlined some policies during her speech at the Democratic National Convention accepting the Democratic nomination, she has given few concrete policy proposals, outside of releasing an economic plan that she discussed in an August speech.
She also elaborated slightly more on her policy views during an interview with CNN in August—her first as the Democratic nominee—in which anchor Dana Bash asked her about issues like the Israel-Hamas war.
