Kamala Harris takes unexpected turn with new campaign allies
Vice President Harris builds surprising alliances for her presidential run while emphasizing military strength. Recent polls suggest voters in key states dont share her foreign-policy views
In her quick-moving presidential bid‚ Kamala Harris shows unclear foreign-policy direction: she might keep Joe Bidens course or make big changes - nobody really knows
Her campaign makes some non-standard moves: teaming up with former opponents (which seems like a smart play in todays divided world). Liz Cheney joins her at many campaign stops in swing-states‚ and Dick Cheney – who democrats used to really dislike – now gives her full support
The campaign keeps talking about making America strong in world affairs: Harris often mentions how shes good at:
- Making friends with other countries
- Building up military power
- Keeping Americas top spot in global affairs
But theres a big problem with this plan - recent polls from key voting areas show something different. More than 50% of people there want less military stuff overseas; they dont trust what foreign-policy experts say is good for them (which raises some hard-to-answer questions)
Maybe the Harris team thinks strong-talk will work‚ or maybe shes just happy working with Cheney – but putting all your chips on foreign-policy that most people dont like seems like a real head-scratcher
