"Vice President Harris has reversed her position on fracking, signaling a move to the center on the issue. The rightward shift comes as she tries to court swing voters in states like Pennsylvania.
Harris was met with a wave of left-wing enthusiasm when she became the party’s presumptive nominee after President Biden left the race. Her shifted stance on fracking could dampen excitement among progressives, but the party’s left flank is still poised to ultimately back her over former President Trump.
The Hill first reported, citing a Harris campaign official, that the vice president no longer supports a ban on fracking, despite taking the opposite stance when she ran for the Democratic nomination in the 2020 presidential cycle."
