The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has released its 2024 party platform, which continues to heavily reference President Joe Biden despite his withdrawal from the race and Kamala Harris emerging as the presumptive nominee. Critics have pointed out that the platform seems more like a cut-and-paste job reflecting Biden's agenda, with multiple mentions of him as the candidate, leading to accusations of incompetence within the party. The document has been described as a 'mess' filled with contradictory claims and vague promises, particularly around economic issues and Biden's record, which Harris is expected to continue. Furthermore, Harris's proposals, such as a federal ban on grocery price gouging, have faced backlash for being perceived as extreme. Many pundits argue that the platform lacks substance, with Harris avoiding detailed policy discussions, which raises concerns about the party's direction and her ability to connect with voters. Overall, the platform has drawn significant criticism for its lack of clarity and coherence as the Democrats prepare for their convention.
