A week ago, Joe Biden notoriously flip-flopped on his long-held anti-fracking position while campaigning in Pennsylvania, where fracking is a major industry.
“I am not banning fracking. Let me say that again: I am not banning fracking. No matter how many times Donald Trump lies about me,” he said.
Unfortunately for him, there was ample evidence that he’s promised to end fracking if elected president.
Now that polls have tightened, and Trump and Biden are now tied in the state of Pennsylvania (a crucial swing state) Kamala Harris, who also campaigned on banning fracking, has also now flip-flopped on the issue. Harris now says she’s comfortable with Biden’s newfound support for fracking because (wait for it!) it provides “good-paying jobs in places like Pennsylvania.”
During her failed presidential bid, Kamala Harris promised she would ban fracking.
“There is no question I am in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said during a CNN town hall on climate change in September 2019.
