Vice President Kamala Harris has been accused of shifting her policy positions in an attempt to appeal to voters, while Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski argues that she is "unelectable" due to her alignment with the Biden administration's policies.
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing accusations of shifting her political positions in order to appeal to voters, while Trump campaign adviser Corey Lewandowski argues that she is "unelectable" due to her alignment with the Biden administration's policies.
Lewandowski made these remarks during an appearance on Fox News' "MediaBuzz," where he criticized Harris' apparent changes on issues such as border security, fracking, and taxing tips for service industry workers.

"She's continuously changed her position," Lewandowski said. "She continuously takes over the Trump agenda on the positions that Donald Trump has, that he's articulated to the American people because she knows that the agenda that she and her boss, Joe Biden, and her running mate Tim Walz, have is so outside of the mainstream that she's unelectable because of it."
Harris has previously declared her intention to ban fracking, a position she has since rescinded. She also formerly criticized Trump's tough stance on border security but has since walked back that rhetoric and toughened her own stance.

In response to Lewandowski's criticisms, Harris' supporters have defended her record, arguing that she has always been a progressive but has been willing to compromise in order to get things done. They also point to her work on issues such as criminal justice reform and voting rights as evidence of her commitment to social justice.
However, Lewandowski's comments highlight the challenges facing Harris as she seeks to appeal to a broad range of voters. With the 2024 presidential election approaching, Harris will need to find a way to balance her progressive values with the need to appeal to more moderate voters.

The accusations of policy shifts also come at a time when the Democratic Party is facing its own internal divisions. The party has become increasingly divided between its progressive and moderate wings, and this division is likely to continue to play a role in the upcoming presidential election.
If Harris is to be successful in her bid for the presidency, she will need to find a way to unite the Democratic Party and appeal to voters across the political spectrum. However, this will be a difficult task, given the current state of American politics.

In a recent poll by the Pew Research Center, 62% of Americans said that the Democratic Party is too liberal. This is up from 53% in 2019. The poll also found that only 32% of Americans believe that the Democratic Party is doing a good job addressing the needs of the middle class.
These findings suggest that the Democratic Party needs to make changes in order to appeal to a broader range of voters. Harris will need to carefully consider her policy positions and her messaging in order to convince voters that she is the right person to lead the country.

If she is successful in doing so, she could become the first woman president of the United States. However, if she is unable to unite the Democratic Party and appeal to a broad range of voters, she will likely face an uphill battle in the 2024 presidential election.
