Harris, for example, stirred controversy when she said at a CNN town hall that she would support eliminating the health insurance industry in order to achieve Medicare for All, while also supporting less far-reaching bills.
In addition, nearly all of the major Democratic presidential contenders have called for the United States to rejoin the Paris climate agreement and have voiced support for tenets of the Green New Deal. “I think part of the answer is that we are going to at least have the beginnings of policy discussions at the debates,” said RL Miller, founder of the super PAC Climate Hawks Vote. “I do think that the debates are going to be one of the first places where the policy differences begin to emerge, because everybody who gets up to that high level of presidential politics knows that it doesn’t work when you say, ‘Yes, I totally agree with my opponents.
Many candidates want to roll back Trump-era cuts to the corporate income tax, and at least half a dozen candidates have proposed increasing taxes on wealthy Americans.
