The recently approved Democratic party platform for 2024 reflects a vision centered around President BIDEN and Vice President HARRIS, despite Biden's decision not to run for a second term. The platform emphasizes their accomplishments while looking towards a progressive future. However, it lacks updates to align with Harris' specific policy positions. The partnership between Biden and Harris is highlighted, with references to Biden's hypothetical second term. Republican critics attempt to link Harris with Biden's policies, emphasizing his alleged unpopularity. The platform covers key issues like abortion rights, green energy, child care costs, and immigration. Despite the platform's content, candidates often do not rigidly adhere to it, suggesting limited impact on the upcoming elections.
