Vice President Kamala Harris has declined to disclose how she voted on California's Proposition 36. The measure, which is set to be a key issue in the upcoming election, proposes to increase criminal penalties for shoplifters, retail thieves, and drug traffickers. When asked about her vote, Harris stated, "I am not gonna talk about the vote on that because, honestly, it's the Sunday before the election and I don't intend to create an endorsement one way or another." Proposition 36 aims to reverse some of the criminal justice reforms that have been implemented in recent years in her home state of California.
