A spokesperson for the Harris-Walz campaign recently highlighted Vice President Kamala Harris's independent stance as a candidate separate from President Joe Biden. The spokesperson emphasized that while Vice President Harris is proud of the accomplishments achieved alongside President Biden, she is her own candidate with her own unique perspectives.
Regarding her departure from President Biden on the issue of the capital gains tax proposal, the spokesperson clarified that Vice President Harris believes in setting the capital gains tax rate at 28% instead of the proposed 39.6%. This adjustment, according to the campaign, aims to create a more favorable environment for investment and entrepreneurship in the country.
The spokesperson reiterated that Vice President Harris's differing views on certain policies do not diminish her support for the administration's achievements. He emphasized that Vice President Harris has played a crucial role in various key accomplishments of the current administration and remains committed to supporting its initiatives.
As the campaign progresses, the spokesperson hinted that there may be more instances where Vice President Harris expresses her individual perspectives on various issues. He underscored the importance of recognizing Vice President Harris as a distinct candidate with her own set of beliefs and priorities.
