Former President Donald Trump recently touted a list of 20 campaign promises in a Truth Social post and a webpage takeover, while Vice President Kamala Harris has started revealing her agenda details. Trump began releasing policy plans in 2022 under Agenda47, focusing on issues like crime, education, healthcare, and the economy, with some bold proposals like the death penalty for drug dealers. He distanced himself from Project 2025 and endorsed the RNC’s ‘Make America Great Again’ platform, which includes promises like sealing the border, cutting taxes, and strengthening the military.
While Trump’s platforms have focused on core promises to make America great again, Harris has rolled out an economic plan including a federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries. Experts note that platforms are often used as a blueprint for party goals and should be taken with caution, as they can change throughout an election cycle. The RNC’s platform mirrored Trump’s campaign points and America First policies, with a focus on border security, energy production, and manufacturing. Kamala Harris is expected to reveal more of the Democratic platform at the upcoming national convention in August. Overall, both parties are outlining their priorities and plans for the future in preparation for the upcoming election.
