Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be distancing herself from her previous support for electric vehicle (EV) mandates, a shift that reflects changing public opinion and decreased demand for EVs. Following her campaign's recent statement that she 'does not support an electric vehicle mandate,' questions have arisen regarding how this aligns with her past advocacy for the Green New Deal and stricter climate policies. Despite insisting that her values remain unchanged, Harris has not clarified her current stance on a 2019 bill she co-sponsored that aimed for a zero-emission vehicle standard by 2040. This ambiguity has led to speculation that she is adopting a more centrist approach as she campaigns for the presidency. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's campaign has seized on footage from her past to label her as overly liberal, complicating her efforts to appeal to a broader electorate. The lack of clarity on Harris's policy positions comes as she has taken on a more prominent role in Biden's campaign, further intensifying scrutiny from both critics and supporters.
