Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris told CNN on Thursday that she would not ban fracking if elected president.
"No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020 that I would not ban fracking, as vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking," Harris said in an interview aired on Thursday evening.
A recent Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice president, leads Republican Donald Trump by 45% to 41% ahead of the November 5 election. This 4-point lead is wider than the 1-point advantage she had in late July.
The poll, conducted over eight days, indicates that Harris is gaining support, particularly among women and Hispanic voters. She holds a 13-point lead over Trump in both demographics, a significant increase from her previous 9-point lead among women and 6-point lead among Hispanics.
Trump continues to lead among white voters and men, but his support among voters without a college degree has narrowed from a 14-point lead in July to 7 points.
