Manage episode 445241634 series 2738868
In this episode of Passing Judgment, we welcome New York Times reporter Maggie Astor for her first podcast appearance, diving into her comprehensive comparison of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump’s policy positions. Jessica Levinson and Maggie explore key issues like abortion, climate change, democracy, crime policy, and the economy, highlighting the vast differences in each candidate’s approach.
Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:
1️⃣ Abortion Standpoints: Kamala Harris is pro-choice, a strong supporter of Roe v. Wade, and advocates for protective abortion rights legislation. Donald Trump supports overturning Roe v. Wade, state-level abortion restrictions, and has ambiguous positions on a federal abortion ban.
2️⃣ Democracy: Kamala Harris is committed to upholding the democratic process and respecting election outcomes, while Donald Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 results and unwillingness to acknowledge potential future losses has fueled skepticism about the legitimacy of the electoral process.
3️⃣ Climate Change Policy: Trump opposes major climate change initiatives, having withdrawn from the Paris Agreement and supporting expanded fossil fuel production, including coal and oil. Harris supports the Paris Agreement, advocates for renewable energy, and has backed legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act to combat climate change.
