In his first political speech in North Carolina Later this week and next week at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Harris plans to introduce Americans to who she is and how she will govern — essentially for the first time since Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her presidential campaign.
In recent weeks, Harris has changed her position on at least five major policies: a mandatory buyback of assault rifles, fracking, immigration, health care and a federal jobs guarantee.

“We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program,” Harris said in October 2019, according to NBC News. “It’s got to be smart, we’ve got to do it the right way.
