WASHINGTON (AP) — This year’s presidential race is a genuine contest of ideas
between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump — with
clear differences on taxes, abortion, immigration, global alliances, climate
change and democracy itself.
Since replacing President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, Harris has
pledged to chart a new way forward even as she has embraced many of his ideas.
She wants middle class tax cuts, tax hikes on the wealthy and corporations, a
restoration of abortion rights and a government that aggressively addresses
climate change, among other stances.
Seeking a return to the White House, Trump wants to accomplish much of what he
couldn’t do during a term that was sidetracked by the global pandemic. The
Republican wants the extension and expansion of his 2017 tax cuts, a massive
increase in tariffs, more support for fossil fuels and a greater concentration
of government power in the White House.
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump detail starkly different visions in tense debate:
* Live updates: The Trump-Harris debate sets up a sprint to election day.
* Major endorsement: Taylor Swift, calling herself a ‘childless cat lady,’
endorses Harris.

The two candidates have spelled out their ideas in speeches, advertisements and
other venues. Many of their proposals lack specifics, making it difficult to
judge exactly how they would translate their intentions into law or pay for
them. While the candidates agree on not taxing workers’ tips, the outcome in
November could drastically change the tax code, America’s support for Ukraine,
abortion access and the commitments made to limit the damage caused by climate
change.
Here’s where each candidate stands on 10 top issues:
ABORTION
HARRIS: The vice president has called on Congress to pass legislation
guaranteeing in federal law abortion access, a right that stood for nearly 50
years before being overturned by the Supreme Court. Like Biden, Harris has
criticized bans on abortion in Republican-controlled states and promised as
president to block any potential nationwide ban should one clear a future
GOP-run Congress. Harris was the Democrats’ most visible champion of abortion
rights even while Biden was still in the race. She has promoted the
administration’s efforts short of federal law — including steps to protect women
who travel to access the procedure and limit how law enforcement collects
medical records.
TRUMP: The former president often brags about appointing the Supreme Court
justices who overturned Roe v. Wade. After dodging questions about when in
pregnancy he believes the procedure should be restricted, Trump announced last
spring that decisions on access and cutoffs should be left to the states. He has
said he would not sign a national abortion ban into law if one landed on his
desk and recently said he would not try to block access to abortion medication.
He told Time magazine that it should also be left up to states to determine
whether to prosecute women for abortions or to monitor their pregnancies. He has
also said that, if he wins, he wants to make IVF treatment free for women.

CLIMATE/ENERGY
HARRIS: As a senator from California, the vice president was an early sponsor of
the Green New Deal, a sweeping series of proposals meant to swiftly move the
U.S. to fully green energy that is championed by the Democratic Party’s most
progressive wing. Harris also said during her short-lived 2020 presidential
campaign that she opposed offshore drilling for oil and hydraulic fracturing.
But during her three and a half years as vice president, Harris has adopted more
moderate positions, focusing instead on implementing the climate provisions of
the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act. That provided nearly $375
billion for things like financial incentives for electric cars and clean energy
projects. The Biden administration has also enlisted more than 20,000 young
people in a national “Climate Corps,” a Peace Corps-like program to promote
conservation through tasks such as weatherizing homes and repairing wetlands.
Despite that, it’s unlikely that the U.S. will be on track to meet Biden’s goal
of cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 — a benchmark that Harris
hasn’t talked about in the early part of her own White House bid.
TRUMP: His mantra for one of his top policy priorities: “DRILL, BABY, DRILL.”
Trump, who in the past cast climate change as a “hoax” and harbors a particular
disdain for wind power, says it’s his goal for the U.S. to have the cheapest
energy and electricity in the world and has claimed he can cut prices in half
within a year of his potential return to office. He’d increase oil drilling on
public lands, offer tax breaks to oil, gas and coal producers, speed the
approval of natural gas pipelines, open dozens of new power plants, including
nuclear facilities, and roll back the Biden administration’s aggressive efforts
to get people to switch to electric cars, which he argues have a place but
shouldn’t be forced on consumers. He has also pledged to re-exit the Paris
Climate Accords, end wind subsidies and eliminate regulations imposed and
proposed by the Biden administration targeting energy-inefficient kinds of
lightbulbs, stoves, dishwashers and shower heads.

HARRIS: Like Biden, Harris has decried Trump as a threat to the nation’s
democracy. But, in attacking her opponent, the vice president has leaned more
heavily into her personal background as a prosecutor and contrasted that with
Trump being found guilty of 34 felony counts in a New York hush money case and
in being found liable for fraudulent business practices and sexual abuse in
civil court. The vice president has also talked less frequently than Biden did
about Trump’s denial that he lost the 2020 presidential election and his
spurring on the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol. When she’s interrupted
during rallies with supporters’ “Lock him up!” chants directed at Trump, Harris
responds that the courts can “handle that” and that “our job is to beat him in
November.”
TRUMP: After refusing to accept his loss to Biden in 2020, Trump hasn’t
committed to accepting the results this time around. He’s repeatedly promised to
pardon the Jan. 6 defendants jailed for assaulting police officers and other
crimes during the attack on the Capitol, and recently threatened to jail
lawyers, election officials, donors and others “involved in unscrupulous
behavior” surrounding November’s vote, again stoking unfounded fears. He vows to
overhaul the Justice Department and FBI “from the ground up,” aggrieved by the
criminal charges the department has brought against him. He also promises to
deploy the National Guard to cities such as Chicago that are struggling with
violent crime and in response to protests, and has also vowed to appoint a
special prosecutor to go after Biden.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
HARRIS: Like Biden, Harris has campaigned hard against “Project 2025,” a plan
authored by leading conservatives to move as swiftly as possible to dramatically
remake the federal government and push it to the right if Trump wins back the
White House. She is also part of an administration that is already taking steps
to make it harder for any mass firings of civil servants to occur. In April, the
Office of Personnel Management issued a new rule that would ban federal workers
from being reclassified as political appointees or other at-will employees, thus
making them easier to dismiss. That was in response to Schedule F, a 2020
executive order from Trump that reclassified tens of thousands of federal
workers to make firing them easier.
TRUMP: The former president has sought to distance himself from “Project 2025,”
despite his close ties to many of its key architects. He has nonetheless vowed
his own overhaul of the federal bureaucracy, which he has long blamed for
blocking his first term agenda, saying: “I will totally obliterate the deep
state.” The former president plans to reissue the Schedule F order stripping
civil service protections. He says he’d then move to fire “rogue bureaucrats,”
including those who ”weaponized our justice system,” and the “warmongers and
America-Last globalists in the Deep State, the Pentagon, the State Department,
and the national security industrial complex.” Trump has also pledged to
terminate the Education Department and wants to curtail the independence of
regulatory agencies like the Federal Communications Commission. As part of his
effort to cut government waste and red tape, he has also pledged to eliminate at
least 10 federal regulations for every new one imposed.
IMMIGRATION
HARRIS: Attempting to defuse a GOP line of political attack, the vice president
has talked up her experience as California attorney general, saying she walked
drug smuggler tunnels and successfully prosecuted gangs that moved narcotics and
people across the border. Early in his term, Biden made Harris his
administration’s point person on the root causes of migration. Trump and top
Republicans now blame Harris for a situation at the U.S.-Mexico border that they
say is out of control due to policies that were too lenient. Harris has
countered that Trump worsened the situation by killing a bipartisan Senate
compromise that would have included tougher asylum standards and hiring more
border agents, immigration judges and asylum officers. She said she would bring
back that bill and sign that law, saying that Trump “talks the talk, but doesn’t
walk the walk” on immigration. The vice president has endorsed comprehensive
immigration reform, seeking pathways to citizenship for immigrants in the U.S.
without legal status, with a faster track for young immigrants living in the
country illegally who arrived as children.
TRUMP: The former president promises to mount the largest domestic deportation
in U.S. history — an operation that could involve detention camps and the
National Guard. He’d bring back policies he put in place during his first term,
like the Remain in Mexico program and Title 42, which placed curbs on migrants
on public health grounds. And he’d revive and expand the travel ban that
originally targeted citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries. After the
Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, he pledged new “ideological screening” for
immigrants to bar “dangerous lunatics, haters, bigots, and maniacs.” He’d also
try to deport people who are in the U.S. legally but harbor “jihadist
sympathies.” He’d seek to end birthright citizenship for people born in the U.S.
whose parents are both in the country illegally.
ISRAEL/GAZA
HARRIS: Harris says Israel has a right to defend itself, and she’s repeatedly
decried Hamas as a terrorist organization. But the vice president might also
have helped defuse some backlash from progressives by being more vocal about the
need to better protect civilians during fighting in Gaza.
More than 40,900 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza,
according to the Health Ministry in the Hamas-ruled territory. The ministry does
not distinguish between civilians and militants in its count, but says that
women and children make up just over half of the dead. Israel says it has killed
more than 17,000 militants in the war.
Like Biden, Harris supports a proposed hostage for extended cease-fire deal that
aims to bring all remaining hostages and Israeli dead home. Biden and Harris say
the deal could lead to a permanent end to the grinding war and they have
endorsed a two-state solution, which would have Israel existing alongside an
independent Palestinian state.
TRUMP: The former president has expressed support for Israel’s efforts to
“destroy” Hamas, but he’s also been critical of some of Israel’s tactics. He
says the country must finish the job quickly and get back to peace. He has
called for more aggressive responses to pro-Palestinian protests at college
campuses and applauded police efforts to clear encampments. Trump also proposes
to revoke the student visas of those who espouse antisemitic or anti-American
views and deport those who support Hamas.
LGBTQ+ ISSUES
HARRIS: During her rallies, Harris accuses Trump and his party of seeking to
roll back a long list of freedoms including the ability “to love who you love
openly and with pride.” She leads audiences in chants of “We’re not going back.”
While her campaign has yet to produce specifics on its plans, she’s been part of
a Biden administration that regularly denounces discrimination and attacks
against the LGBTQ+ community. Early in Biden’s term, his administration reversed
an executive order from Trump that had largely banned transgender people from
military service, and his Education Department issued a rule that says Title IX,
the 1972 law that was passed to protect women’s rights, also bars discrimination
based on sexual orientation or gender identity. That rule was silent on the
issue of transgender athletes.
TRUMP: The former president has pledged to keep transgender women out of women’s
sports and says he will ask Congress to pass a bill establishing that “only two
genders,” as determined at birth, are recognized by the United States. He
promises to “defeat the toxic poison of gender ideology.” As part of his
crackdown on gender-affirming care, he would declare that any health care
provider that participates in the “chemical or physical mutilation of minor
youth” no longer meets federal health and safety standards and bar them from
receiving federal money. He’d take similarly punitive steps in schools against
any teacher or school official who “suggests to a child that they could be
trapped in the wrong body.” Trump would support a national prohibition of
hormonal or surgical intervention for transgender minors and bar transgender
people from military service.
NATO/UKRAINE
HARRIS: The vice president has yet to specify how her positions on Russia’s war
with Ukraine might differ from Biden’s, other than to praise the president’s
efforts to rebuild alliances unraveled by Trump, particularly NATO, a critical
bulwark against Russian aggression. The Biden administration has pledged
unceasing support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion. The government has sent
tens of billions of dollars in military and other aid to Ukraine, including a
tranche of aid that totaled $61 billion in weapons, ammunition and other
assistance that is expected to last through the end of this year. The
administration has maintained that continuing U.S. assistance is critical
because Russian leader Vladimir Putin will not stop at invading Ukraine. Harris
has said previously that it would be foolish to risk global alliances the U.S.
has established and decried Putin’s “brutality.”
TRUMP: The former president has repeatedly taken issue with U.S. aid to Ukraine
and says he will continue to “fundamentally reevaluate” the mission and purpose
of the NATO alliance if he returns to office. He has claimed, without
explanation, that he will be able to end the war before his inauguration by
bringing both sides to the negotiating table. (His approach seems to hinge on
Ukraine giving up at least some of its Russian-occupied territory in exchange
for a cease-fire.) On NATO, he has assailed member nations for years for failing
to hit agreed-upon military spending targets. Trump drew alarms this year when
he said that, as president, he had warned leaders that he would not only refuse
to defend nations that don’t hit those targets, but “would encourage” Russia “to
do whatever the hell they want” to countries that are “delinquent.”
TARIFFS/TRADE
HARRIS: The Biden-Harris administration has sought to boost trade with allies in
Europe, Asia and North America, while using tariffs and other tools to go after
rivals such as China. The Democratic administration kept Trump’s tariffs on
China in place, while adding a ban on exporting advanced computer chips to that
country and providing incentives to boost U.S. industries. In May, the
Biden-Harris administration specifically targeted China with increased tariffs
on electric vehicles and steel and aluminum, among other products.
TRUMP: The former president wants a dramatic expansion of tariffs on nearly all
imported foreign goods, saying that “we’re going to have 10% to 20% tariffs on
foreign countries that have been ripping us off for years.” He’s suggested
tariffs as high as 100% on Chinese goods. He treats these taxes as a way to fund
other tax cuts, lower the deficit and possibly fund child care — though the
tariffs could raise prices for consumers without generating the revenues Trump
promises. He would also urge Congress to pass legislation giving the president
authority to impose a reciprocal tariff on any country that imposes one on the
U.S. Much of his trade agenda has focused on China. Trump has proposed phasing
out Chinese imports of essential goods including electronics, steel and
pharmaceuticals and wants to ban Chinese companies from owning U.S.
infrastructure in sectors such as energy, technology and farmland.
TAXES
HARRIS: With much of the 2017 tax overhaul expiring at end of next year, Harris
is pledging tax cuts for more than 100 million working and middle class
households. In addition to preserving some of the expiring cuts, she wants to
make permanent a tax credit of as much as $3,600 per child and offer a special
$6,000 tax credit for new parents. Harris says her administration would expand
tax credits for first-time homebuyers and push to build 3 million new housing
units in four years, while wiping out taxes on tips and endorsing tax breaks for
entrepreneurs. Like Biden, she wants to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% and
the corporate minimum tax to 21%. The current corporate rate is 21% and the
corporate minimum, raised under the Inflation Reduction Act, is at 15% for
companies making more than $1 billion a year. But Harris would not increase the
capital gains tax as much as Biden had proposed on investors with more than $1
million in income.
TRUMP: The former president has promised to extend and even expand all of the
2017 tax cuts that he signed into law, while also paying down the debt. He has
proposed cutting the overall corporate tax rate to 15% from 21% — but only for
companies that make their products in the U.S. He would repeal any tax increases
signed into law by Biden. He also aims to gut some of the tax breaks that Biden
put into law to encourage the development of renewable energy and EVs. Trump has
proposed eliminating taxes on tips received by workers — a policy embraced by
Harris, who would also raise the minimum wage for tipped workers — as well as
eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits. He also wants to lower the cost
of housing by opening up federal land to development. Outside analyses suggest
that Trump’s ideas would do much more to increase budget deficits than what
Harris would do, without delivering the growth needed to minimize any additional
debt.
