Vice President Kamala Harris finally went live with her campaign website Sunday after going more than a month with no official policy platform — yet critics said the site still lacks specifics beyond a general vision and hopes.

The new website lists the policies that Harris has already announced in the past — including her $25,000 handout for new home buyers, increasing tax deductions for new small businesses from $5,000 to $50,000, banning price-gauging on groceries and a $6,000 child tax credit.

The website is touted as “a new way forward” — despite Harris having been VP for more than the past three years and repeating some of President Biden’s policies.

On the border crisis, the policy site lists no points other than saying Harris will fight for the Senate’s related bill and that she will establish a “pathway to citizenship” for migrants who entered the US illegally.

Some voters expressed online concern for her lack of other concrete proposals, especially on the border.

“These are not policy positions..nothing on border security either. These are goals, goals that scream ‘we are raising your taxes’!” an X user wrote.

Another person said, “The ‘border bill’ is political theater. Trump didn’t require legislation to achieve a more secure border, and neither does Biden or Harris.”

Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, “Kamala Harris added a late-night, half-ass, wish list of policies to her website to solve the problems SHE helped create over the past four years.

“If Kamala really wanted to lower costs and secure the border – why did she cast the tie-breaking vote to cause inflation and support the war on our energy industry, and why is she allowing an invasion of illegal immigrants through our southern border as we speak?”

Other parts of Harris’ policy agenda on the site lay out her goals for her potential future administration but don’t establish how she would get there other than to say she will “fight” for them.

“She’ll fight to raise the minimum wage, end sub-minimum wages for tipped workers and people with disabilities, establish paid family and medical leave, and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers,” the website reads.

“Vice President Harris will fight to ensure parents can afford high-quality child care and preschool for their children,” it adds.

At another point, the site says, “She and Governor Walz will always fight for the freedom to breathe clean air, drink clean water, and live free from the pollution that fuels the climate crisis.”

On the US Supreme Court, the site says Harris sides with President Biden on establishing unprecedented reforms such as term limits and “requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules.

“Vice President Harris believes that no one is above the law. She’ll fight to ensure that no former president has immunity for crimes committed while in the White House,” the website reads.

“She will also support common-sense Supreme Court reforms—like requiring Justices to comply with ethics rules that other federal judges are bound by and imposing term limits—to address the crisis of confidence facing the Supreme Court,” it says.

Harris doesn’t offer any new vision for Israel on the site but reiterates that she will “ensure” Israel has the right to defend itself and that she and Biden are working on a hostage deal with Hamas to release Israelis and make sure the “suffering in Gaza ends.”

The Harris campaign did not respond to an inquiry from The Post on Monday.
