The Democratic Party released its party platform document, highlighting over 90 pages of policy priorities just before its convention. The platform was written before President Joe Biden became the nominee, and it references his achievements and positions repeatedly. The platform emphasizes Biden’s economic vision, including infrastructure improvements, union support, and a $15 minimum wage. However, Vice President Kamala Harris has proposed more generous plans, such as a $25,000 subsidy for first-time homebuyers and $6,000 tax relief for families with a new child.
The platform also addresses key issues such as climate change, gun violence, and strengthening democracy. It discusses the party’s stance on Israel, supporting a two-state solution and denouncing Hamas while calling for a ceasefire deal in Gaza. The platform also addresses securing the southern border, with Biden planning to push for additional resources and authorities in his second term.
Overall, the document outlines the Democratic Party’s key priorities and positions on various policy issues, highlighting the differences between Biden’s platform and some of the more ambitious proposals put forth by Harris. The platform underscores the party’s commitment to tackling important challenges facing America, from economic inequality to global conflicts.
