What are Harris and Trump’s policies?

American voters will face a clear choice for president on Election Day, between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump.

Here’s a look at what they stand for and how their policies compare on different issues.

Harris has said her first priority would be to reduce food and housing costs for working families.

She promises a ban on price gouging on groceries, helping first-time buyers on the housing market and offering incentives to increase the housing supply.

Trump has promised to “end inflation and make America affordable again.”

He has promised to offer lower interest rates, something the president has no control over, and says deporting undocumented immigrants will ease pressure on housing.

Harris has made abortion rights central to her campaign, and she continues to advocate for legislation that would enshrine reproductive rights nationwide.

Trump has struggled to find a consistent message in recent weeks.

The three justices he appointed to the Supreme Court during his presidency played a crucial role in overturning the constitutional right to abortion, a 1973 ruling known as Roe v Wade.

Harris was tasked with addressing the root causes of the southern border crisis and helped raise billions of dollars in private money to make regional investments aimed at stemming the flow north.

Record numbers of people arrived from Mexico in late 2023, but numbers have since fallen. In this campaign, she has sharpened her position and highlighted her experience as a prosecutor in California who has taken on human traffickers.

Trump has vowed to seal the border by completing construction of a wall and stepping up enforcement. But he urged Republicans to drop a tough, cross-party border bill backed by Harris.

He has also promised the largest mass deportation of undocumented immigrants in American history. Experts told the BBC this would pose legal problems.

Harris wants to raise taxes on large corporations and Americans making $400,000 a year.

But she has also unveiled a number of measures that would ease the tax burden on families, including an expansion of child tax credits.

Trump is proposing a series of trillions in tax cuts, including an extension of his 2017 spending cuts that mainly benefited the wealthy. He says he will pay for this through higher growth and import taxes.

Analysts say both tax plans will contribute to the rising deficit, but Trump’s much more so.

Harris has pledged to support Ukraine “for as long as necessary.” She has pledged, if elected, to ensure that the US, not China, wins “the battle for the 21st century.”

She has long been an advocate for a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians, and has called for an end to the war in Gaza.

Trump pursues an isolationist foreign policy and wants the US to disengage from conflicts elsewhere in the world.

He has said he would end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours through a negotiated settlement with Russia, a move Democrats say would embolden Vladimir Putin.

Trump has positioned himself as a staunch supporter of Israel but said little about how he would end the war in Gaza.

Harris has criticized Trump’s sweeping tariff plan, calling it a national tax on working families that will cost each household $4,000 a year. She is expected to take a more targeted approach to taxing imports.

Trump has made tariffs a central promise in this campaign. He has proposed new tariffs of 10 to 20 percent on most foreign goods, and much higher tariffs on those from China.

HarrisAs vice president, he helped pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which has funneled hundreds of billions of dollars into renewable energy and tax credits and rebates for electric vehicles.

But she has dropped her opposition to fracking, a gas and oil recovery technique opposed by environmentalists.

Trumpwhile in the White House, rolled back hundreds of environmental protections, including limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants and vehicles.

In this campaign he has promised to expand drilling in the Arctic and attack electric cars.

Harris is part of a White House administration that has lowered prescription drug costs and capped insulin prices at $35.

Trump has said that as president he will not renew his efforts to pass the Affordable Care Act, which expanded insurance to millions more people.

He has called for taxpayer-funded fertility treatments, but that could be opposed by Republicans in Congress.

Harris has tried to contrast her experience as a prosecutor with the fact that Trump has been convicted of a crime.

Trump has vowed to destroy drug cartels, crush gang violence and rebuild Democratic-run cities he says are overrun by crime.

Harris has made gun violence prevention a major pledge, and she and Tim Walz—both gun owners—often advocate for stricter laws. But they will find that measures like expanding background checks or banning assault weapons will require help from Congress.

Trump has positioned itself as a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, the constitutional right to bear arms. When he addressed the National Rifle Association in May, he said he was their best friend.
