Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign now claims she “does not support” Electric Vehicle (EV) mandates after years of supporting such mandates as a Senator and in her role in President Joe Biden’s administration, Breitbart reports.
According to The Spectator‘s Amber Duke, Harris’s campaign sent an email to supporters on Tuesday claiming “Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate.”
The statement comes after years of Harris campaigning, championing, and supporting EV mandates that require automakers to produce and sell a certain percentage of EVs to American consumers.
“[W]e will ensure that 50 percent of all new passenger vehicles sold are zero-emission by 2030, and 100 percent are zero-emission by 2035,” Harris’s agenda read at the time. Similarly, Harris said she wanted to require “that all new buses be zero-emission by 2030.”
As vice president, Harris has backed Biden’s EV mandate, which will require that a majority of new cars produced and sold in the United States market are EVs or hybrids by 2032.
The U.S. Oil & Gas Association slammed Harris in a post to X:
Last month, a Harvard-Harris poll revealed that 72 percent of registered voters said they oppose the Biden-Harris EV mandate — including 57 percent of Democrats, 77 percent of swing voters, and 83 percent of Republicans.
Both EV mandates run the risk of wiping out millions of American auto jobs, including the jobs of UAW members. EVs, as experts note, require far less manpower to produce than traditional gas-powered cars.
Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), have said they will end Biden and Harris’s EV mandate.
“[We will] end the Electric Vehicle mandate on day one — thereby saving the U.S. auto industry from complete obliteration, which is happening right now, and saving U.S. customers thousands and thousands of dollars per car.” Breitbart

Explain this to me please. Trump changes positions more often than an ADHD kid after drinking a bottle of coca cola due to political expediency, but you make no mention of that. This is what politicians do. They are supposed to represent us, and they change their positions on issues accordingly.
I am no Kamala supporter, but this is outright hypocrisy. How can you criticize other media outlets for bias when you are guilty of the same thing?
Kamala may have terrible policies, but Trump is flat out nuts. His policies at the moment may be favorable to Yidden, but his bottom line is himself, and, as a first-class narcissist, he will shift to whatever he feels benefits his ego. I say, vote for Mickey Mouse, he’s better than either one of these candidates.
Trump wrote: “It’s all fake with Kamala.”
He’s been telling everyone it’s all fake for a long, long time.
But people just cannot turn off the TV. At this point Trump is trying to ween a nation of children off of their imaginary friends on TV.
He’s saying over and over and over and over that it’s fake. They cannot make it look any more absurd.
Now tell me: Who’s nuts?
