The latest policy flip-flop from Vice President-turned Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris has her turning her back on an EV mandate proposal she co-sponsored in Congress in 2019, but that never made it into law. 

The Harris campaign claimed on Tuesday in a "fact check" email that she opposes electric vehicle mandates, but of course didn't mention her co-sponsorship of the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019, which would have mandated that all cars sold after 2040 were electric.

“After model year 2040, the [Environmental Protection Agency] Administrator may issue an injunction on the manufacture of any passenger vehicles other than zero emission vehicles by a vehicle manufacturer,’’ read the text of the proposed legislation.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, during her short-lived 2020 presidential campaign, Harris pushed for an even more stringent standard of 100% electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles by 2035--that's in only 11 years.

Harris backtracking

In March, Biden and Harris pushed the EPA to lower tailpipe emission limits to the point that it would force over half of cars sold to be EVs, and another 13% to be hybrid vehicles.

But now, less than six months later, Harris is backtracking on her stance on the vehicles.

When reality hits, it doesn't take long for lefties to realize that the majority of the public does not want these EV cars forced on them and that there are serious problems with their functioning at certain times and under certain conditions.

It's all well and good to tell people to buy EVs, but when the power grid gets overtaxed or they don't hold a charge when its below freezing in winter, the problems are going to be massive.

The voters don't want it

Polling conducted by Remington Research Group that was sponsored by a petrochemical company said that in the swing states of Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin--which are likely to decide the 2024 election--59% or more of voters do not want to see gas-powered cars banned.

This is the real reason why Harris is flip-flopping on the mandate, because voters don't support it.

It's all too easy to support these green policies when you know nothing is going to come of them and you don't need anyone's votes.

Democrats should be quaking in their boots at the prospect of Harris as their candidate in 2024 because no one has actually ever voted for her.

She dropped out of the 2020 race before the first primary, and she was coronated by delegates and Democrat party power brokers after the rank and file voted for Biden as the nominee.

When the rubber meets the road in November, she will be completely untested, and that's got to be scary.
