Kamala Harris in Policy Flip-Flop, Won't Ban Fracking

Aug 30, 2024, 01:31 AM

Kamala Harris has publicly shifted her stance on fracking, stating she would not ban the practice if elected president. This marks a significant policy flip-flop from her 2019 position during her Democratic presidential bid, where she expressed clear support for banning fracking. In a recent interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Harris emphasized that the U.S. can grow a thriving clean energy economy without prohibiting fracking. This position aligns with the Trump campaign's stance on the issue. Harris's comments are seen as an effort to appeal to voters in key swing states like Pennsylvania, where fracking is a significant economic factor.
