Pence vs Harris: Only one of them is right for America | TheHill – The Hill

Kamala HarrisKamala HarrisTrump seeks to overcome eroding support among women Does Trump suffer from 'self-destructive syndrome'? Could Kamala Harris transform law enforcement as the vice president? MORE (D-Calif.) as his running mate in 2020. While many in the liberal media are hailing Bidens choice as safe, Harris is anything but that. Harris may appeal to the left, but she doesnt have much to offer mainstream America.
Mike PenceMichael (Mike) Richard PenceTrump holds private funeral service for brother Robert Trump at White House Democrats prep ads, events to hit Trump during GOP convention The Hill's Convention Report: Postmaster General grilled | Looking ahead to GOP convention | Trump campaign passes billion in spending MORE, by contrast, has a proven record of delivering on the promises that the American people want the Trump administration to keep. In thehead-to-headbetween Pence and Harris, Pence is clearly the better choice.
Lets start with abortion.Seventy-five percent of Americanssupport some legal restrictions on abortion access. Any safe or representative vice president pick would hold views that reflect this fact. But Harris is not that pick. As a senator, Harris co-sponsored the Womens Health Protection Act, which would make it impossible for states to enforce precisely those legal restrictions Americans want, things like informed consent laws or mandatory waiting periods. And just earlier this year, Harris voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which would make it a federal crime for doctors to withhold life-saving medical care from an infant who survives a botched abortion.
For Harris, appealing to the far lefts radical pro-choice politics takes precedence over defending the right of an infant to receive healthcare. With Harris on the ticket, Biden is running the most pro-choice campaign in history.
Meanwhile, Mike Pence has helped lead the charge on many, if not all, of the Trump administrationsoutstanding anti-abortion accomplishments. And even though many Americans have come to accept Roe v. Wade, the vast majority of them, and also a3 in 10 minority of Democrats, still reject the radical pro-choice politics of the contemporary left.
Then theres religious freedom. In an era of highly polarized partisan politics, religious freedom is one of the few areas where almost all Americans agree. An AP-NORC poll from 2015 found that8 in 10 Americanssupport religious freedom for Christians. Americans understand the importance of religious liberty for the distinctly American vision of a free and flourishing republic.
Fromdiscriminating against a judicial nomineebecause of his Catholic faith toopposing the right of private businessesto uphold their faith against the Affordable Care Acts mandates, Harriss record on religious liberty is far from stellar. And twice now, Harris has introduced the Do No Harm Act to Congress, a bill designed to gut the religious liberty protections established by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.
Mike Pence has a proven record as a staunch advocate for religious freedom, both before and since entering the White House. Pence has even said that one of theproudest momentsof his service as vice president came when he delivered a tie-breaking Senate vote to allow states to withhold federal family planning money from abortion providers. And together with Trump, Pencetook the issue of religious freedom before the U.N.to help protect religious freedom abroad.
Pence is also the victor when it comes to school choice.Sixty-seven percentof Americans support school choice, with58percentsupporting government vouchers for private schools. But back when she was running for president, Harrisjoined in the chorus of Democrat voices decrying school choice initiativesand proposing legislation that would directly limit and infringe on the right of every American to get the education they want. Pence, on the other hand, has consistently fought to expand school choice, both at the local level while he was governor of Indiana and at the national level as Trumps vice president.
These are just three key issues, but they paint an accurate picture of what sets Pence apart from Harris namely, that Pence is taking the positions that the majority of Americans want, while Harris is way out in the left field.
As a grassroots organizer, Ive witnessed firsthand the disconnect between the Democratic partys drift ever leftward and the opinions of real everyday Americans. Americans, by and large, want some pro-life protections. They want their freedoms upheld. They want their Christian faith defended. And they want their country to be led by people who represent them.
But on almost every issue of consequence, Kamala Harris represents, not the base of ordinary Americans, but a far-left fringe of progressive activists. In this regard, shes woefully out of touch. If the choice for 2020 wasnt already clear, it just got clearer. In the Pence vs. Harris matchup, Harris simply cant compete.
