Democrats have released their 2024 platform for this week’s Democratic National Convention (DNC) but it still names lame-duck President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee.
Democratic National Committee released its 2024 platform on Sunday ahead of the party’s convention in Chicago this week.
The Democrats said that the platform was passed by the Platform Committee on July 16.
It was passed just five days before Biden announced the end of his campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
However, the platform wasn’t updated to remove Biden as the nominee.
Democratic Party delegates will vote on the Biden-centered policy platform at the convention on Monday evening despite Democrats rallying behind a new candidate.
“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,” the DNC platform states.
“To grow our economy from the middle out and bottom-up, not the top down.
“To reward work, not wealth. To lower costs.
“To tackle the climate crisis, lower energy costs, and secure energy independence.
“To protect communities and tackle the scourge of gun violence.
“To secure the border and fix the broken immigration system.
“To advance the President’s Unity Agenda. To strengthen American leadership worldwide.”
The document also refers to “Biden’s second term” numerous times.
“It’s hilarious incompetence but it’s also the truth,” President Donald Trump’s campaign wrote on X.
“Kamala’s presidency would be a Biden second term.
“A continuation of his broken economy, broken border, and broken world.”
Harris and her running mate, Minnesota’s radical Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, have been criticized for staying quiet on specific policy positions during the first few weeks of their presidential campaign.
The Harris campaign website still does not have a policy platform.
Based on the 92-page DNC platform, it appears Harris will run on policy promises identical to those that would have been pushed by Biden.
The DNC platform focuses on addressing the economy and “lowering costs” for healthcare, prescription drugs, gas, groceries, and housing.
The economy and inflation have remained a primary concern for voters heading into the 2024 election.
Harris is in an awkward position as the sitting VP running for president as gas and grocery prices remain higher than during the Trump administration.
The vice president has even admitted that grocery prices have increased under the Biden-Harris administration.
However, she falsely blamed companies unfairly “price gouging.”
Last week, the Democratic nominee laid out some economic policy goals for her administration if she wins in November.
Harris’ policy includes pushing communist-style food price controls and federal handouts to first-time homeowners.
She was blasted by Republicans, including her opponent Donald Trump, who called her ideas “communist” and reminiscent of Soviet Russia.
The DNC platform’s position on higher grocery costs sounds similar to arguments made by Harris, blaming corporate “price gouging.”
“President Biden will keep calling those companies out for price gouging, and hold them accountable when they don’t pass savings on to consumers,” the platform adds.
The DNC platform also calls for “tackling the climate crisis” and praises Biden for “delivering on the most aggressive climate agenda in history.”
On abortion, the platform hits Trump for appointing three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade.
“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are fighting back to restore reproductive freedom for every woman in every state,” the DNC claims.
On gender issues, the party’s platform touts Biden’s protecting “transgender Americans’ access to health care and coverage, including medically necessary gender-affirming care.”
Interestingly, President Trump recently urged Biden to “crash” the DNC and take back his presidential nomination that was “stolen” by Harris in a “coup.”
