What would Harris's political characteristics be if elected?

Harris's policy propositions may largely inherit Biden's ideals, while also possessing some of her own focal points.

On August 16, Harris delivered her first economic policy agenda speech after declaring her candidacy at a rally in North Carolina, focusing on the cost of living for American families, addressing issues such as lowering food prices, taxes, housing costs, and healthcare expenses to alleviate the concerns residents have about the economy due to rising prices during Biden's tenure. In terms of means, the primary task of Harris's economic policy is to lower food prices, taxes, housing costs, and healthcare expenses to reduce the living costs for the working class and middle class, enhancing the sense of income acquisition, mainly including the following aspects:

- Focus on reducing the cost of essential goods and combating price gouging: Strive to promote the first federal law in U.S. history banning price fraud on food and daily necessities, including authorizing government agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to investigate and penalize violations by 'large corporations', and finding ways to address anti-competitive behaviors such as price manipulation in the food and daily necessities industry, increasing penalties for price gouging, especially for necessities like daily goods and gasoline.

- Further tax cuts for workers and the middle class, reducing the tax burden: If elected, will make the approved $3,600 tax credit for each eligible child permanent, while providing new $6,000 tax credit for families with newborns, as well as expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), reducing taxes for frontline workers by up to $1,500.

However, it should be noted that the specific characteristics and implementation of policies will be influenced by various factors, such as the political environment, Congress's attitude, and domestic and international economic conditions. Moreover, the candidates' policy proposals during the campaign may not necessarily be fully aligned with their actual policy actions after being elected. In other areas such as energy, technology, trade, and foreign policy, Harris currently seems to maintain a 'strategic ambiguity', leaving more room for voter imagination, but ultimately she needs to present a clear governance agenda to maximize support and mobilize votes.
