Democrats Release 2024 Platform. It Still Says Joe Biden Is ‘Running To Finish The Job.’

The Democratic National Committee released its 2024 platform on Sunday just before the kickoff of the party convention in Chicago this week, and it still names President Joe Biden as the party’s nominee.

The DNC said that the platform was passed by the Platform Committee on July 16, just five days before Biden announced the end of his campaign and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris. Democratic Party delegates will vote on the Biden-centered policy platform at the convention on Monday evening despite Democrats rallying behind a new candidate.

“President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are running to finish the job,” the DNC platform states. “To grow our economy from the middle out and bottom up, not the top down. To reward work, not wealth. To lower costs. To tackle the climate crisis, lower energy costs, and secure energy independence. To protect communities and tackle the scourge of gun violence. To secure the border and fix the broken immigration system. To advance the President’s Unity Agenda. To strengthen American leadership worldwide.”

Harris and her running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have been criticized for staying quiet on specific policy positions during the first few weeks of their presidential campaign. The Harris campaign website still does not have a policy platform. Based on the 92-page DNC platform, it appears Harris will run on policy promises identical to those that would have been pushed by Biden.

The DNC platform focuses on addressing the economy and “lowering costs” for health care, prescription drugs, gas, groceries, and housing. The economy and inflation have remained a primary concern for voters heading into the 2024 election, and Harris is in an awkward position as the sitting vice president running for president as gas and grocery prices remain higher than during the Trump administration. Harris even admitted that grocery prices have increased under the Biden-Harris administration but blamed companies unfairly “price gouging.”

Last week, the Democratic nominee laid out some economic policy goals for her administration if she wins in November, pushing food price controls and federal handouts to first-time homeowners. Harris was blasted by Republicans, including her opponent Donald Trump, who called her ideas “communist.”

The DNC platform’s position on higher grocery costs sounds similar to arguments made by Harris, blaming corporate “price gouging.”

“President Biden will keep calling those companies out for price gouging, and hold them accountable when they don’t pass savings on to consumers,” the platform adds.

The DNC platform also calls for “tackling the climate crisis” and praises Biden for “delivering on the most aggressive climate agenda in history.” On abortion, the platform hits Trump for appointing three Supreme Court justices who helped overturn Roe v. Wade and states, “President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Democrats are fighting back to restore
reproductive freedom for every woman in every state.”

On gender issues, the party’s platform touts Biden’s protecting “transgender Americans’ access to health care and coverage, including medically necessary gender-affirming care.”
