Billionaire Warns Kamala Harris is ‘Further Left’ than Biden

1

Vice President Kamala Harris faces criticism from billionaire investor Barry Sternlicht, who warns her policies are more “progressive” than President Biden's and could harm businesses. Sternlicht highlighted the Federal Trade Commission's aggressive stance on American industries as an example of Harris' anti-business approach​​.

Harris, now the presumptive Democratic nominee following Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 race, has previously endorsed a ban on fracking. Despite attempts to walk back her stance, critics argue that her history on the issue, along with the Biden administration's record, will make it challenging to win over key voters in energy-rich swing states like Pennsylvania​​.

Fracking is popular in Pennsylvania. (And other states.)

Political strategists suggest Harris could potentially shift her public perception by explaining how her views evolved due to global energy market impacts observed during her vice presidency. However, her past comments and the current administration’s actions on energy policies remain significant hurdles​​.

Adding to her challenges, Harris has garnered endorsements from major environmental groups opposing fracking, such as the Sunrise Movement and Climate Defiance, which demand strict measures against fossil fuel infrastructure. This alignment with environmental radicals may further alienate moderate and independent voters​.

In Pennsylvania, a critical battleground, the natural gas industry supports a significant portion of the state's economy. Harris' position on fracking could be a decisive factor in the 2024 election, with GOP figures already leveraging her past statements in political ads against her​.

Harris' campaign has tried to moderate her image, but her record and the administration's energy policies continue to be focal points for criticism, particularly from those advocating for a robust energy sector and economic independence.

Kamala Harris may indeed be the most radical candidate to run for president within the two major parties in the modern era. Business is casting a wary eye as she seeks to appear less on the fringe or American politics.
