Kamala Harris downplays Biden's climate initiatives in campaign strategy

Kamala Harris has largely downplayed President Biden's climate initiatives during her campaign, despite significant investments in clean energy. This contrasts with the $493 billion in private investments spurred by Biden's climate law, which has created over 330,000 clean-energy jobs. Harris's focus on economic issues reflects concerns about climate change's divisiveness in key states like Pennsylvania. Polls show only 3% of voters in battleground states prioritize climate change, indicating a lack of broad support for further climate policies. While Biden's climate legacy is substantial, it may face challenges if Trump wins the election. Many clean-energy projects are in Republican districts, and some GOP lawmakers oppose repealing climate tax breaks, suggesting a complex political landscape for future climate action.
