The Harris campaign has said she no longer supports a ban on hydraulic fracking and a single-payer health system, or Medicare for all, two positions she supported in her unsuccessful 2020 bid for president.
At the convention in Chicago this week, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer summed up the sentiment of a party eager to put off policy discussions and focus more on defeating Trump.
Minutes before he addressed climate activists, Schumer was asked whether Harris needed to provide a more detailed climate agenda in the upcoming weeks.
“People should have a lot of faith. She’s going to be a great environmental president," he said.
The final sprint to Election Day on Nov. 5 includes at least one televised debate against Trump in September. She is expected also to sit for one-one-one national interviews where she will be pressed for more policy details.

What does being 'a great environmental president' mean to you, and do you believe a president can achieve this without supporting a fracking ban?

Can a political leader's effectiveness be measured by their ability to win an election, or should it be based more on their commitment to specific policies?
