There is no area in which she is seeking a significant break from his agenda — perhaps not surprising given that she had a role in crafting much of it.

Uncle Joe’s agenda was pretty damned successful, all things considered.
It would make little sense to abandon it for no good reason.

@jlw

She has abandoned a host of progressive positions she adopted while running for the 2020 presidential nomination,

That’s politics.
It’s also a possible harbinger of things that might see daylight again.
After all, Uncle Joe turned out to have a far more progressive agenda than I thought he was capable of, so who knows?

@jlw

and has for the most part avoided getting bogged down in the specifics of what she would do as president.

Let’s wait until after the DNC, shall we?
Let’s get the whole menu first, before quibbling about the ingredients & techniques involved in each item.

@jlw

Ms. Harris’s standard stump speech is hardly bereft of policy, though she does not delve into details.

At least she mentions policy. And, again, it’s a bit early for details.

@jlw

Instead, she calls for a broad range of policies embraced by mainstream Democrats.

The horror!
