Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign has been caught literally copy-pasting large sections of her website’s recently released “Issues” page directly from the Biden campaign website.
Harris finally published an “Issues” page on her campaign website on Sunday, which was full of supposedly “moderate” positions that directly contradict her past statements and current actions in office, including support for border security. However, lying on her campaign website was not the only scandal to come out of this new development.
Ok Kamala Harris has FINALLY added issues to her campaign website but — you guys — it’s just SO long!
And pretty hard to take seriously when each section ends with a bright red whopper of a lie on ‘Trump’s Project 2025 Agenda’ 🙄 pic.twitter.com/eDrdzNmpF6

It appears that President Joe Biden isn’t the only one in the White House guilty of plagiarism, as a bombshell report from The New Republic has confirmed that portions of the Harris campaign’s “Issues” page — which she ironically titled “A New Way Forward” — were stolen directly from Biden’s campaign page, according to the source code.
Despite Harris and her allies in the mainstream media working overtime to portray the vice president as the candidate of “change,” the fact that she stole her platform from the man who is supposedly running the country at the moment strongly refutes those claims.
The challenge for the Harris campaign trying to be the ‘change agent’…“they finally added an “Issues” section to her website. It includes a slew of policies that the campaign has previously outlined, as well as sections on reproductive and civil rights. Unfortunately for Harris,… https://t.co/Sl17QocQxV

The fact that the Harris campaign was copy-pasting from Biden’s website was further confirmed by one X user, Corrine Green, who shared a screenshot of the text that pops up when linking to the Harris campaign’s “Issues” page in a social media post on Sunday. As the metadata is stolen from Biden, it includes text urging voters to re-elect Biden. The text reads “Together, we can finish the job for the American people. Are you with us? Join our campaign to re-elect Joe Biden today!”
However, the Harris campaign quickly scrubbed that metadata from the website by Monday morning, though it was not quick enough to stop the screenshots from going viral.
they copied and pasted the policy page code from biden's website and couldn't be assed to change it. "join our campaign to re-elect joe biden today!" pic.twitter.com/cDlL8xn01Q

This glaring oversight and the lack of originality from Harris only further serves to prove to the American people that she is not a legitimate candidate — especially because she waited seven weeks after launching her presidential campaign to even list the “Issues” on her website. If it took that long just for the Harris campaign to begin copy-pasting from her boss’ website, how can Americans take her seriously as a candidate?
Meanwhile, Americans have made it clear in numerous polls that they view a Harris presidency as an extension of the Biden-Harris administration. According to a New York Times poll released over the weekend, 60% of likely voters want their next president to represent a significant departure from Biden — but only 25% of likely voters said that Harris represented this change, while 53% believe Trump represented this change.
