The 2024 Biden-Harris campaign is being criticized for taking steps that some say are like trying to buy votes. The campaign is making moves to win over Black voters in Philadelphia. VP Harris talked about removing medical debts from credit reports, which she believes will greatly impact the Black community. Critics mention that Biden and Harris are not as popular among Black voters as they were in 2020, so these actions may be to regain lost support.
In her speech, Harris praised the administration’s efforts to help the Black community by addressing major issues. She highlighted the plan to eliminate medical debt from credit scores, ensuring that it won’t affect people’s ability to get loans for cars, homes, or apartments. Although the specifics of the plan are not clear yet, it will be overseen by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Some people on social media had different reactions to Harris’s announcement. One user expressed skepticism, saying the plan seems rushed and may complicate matters. Another user worried about the impact on healthcare providers trying to collect payments. It remains to be seen if these actions will sway voters in favor of Biden and Harris.
Conservative opinion: This move by the Biden-Harris campaign seems like a blatant attempt to win over voters with promises that could have long-term consequences. Erasing medical debts from credit reports may sound appealing, but it could have negative implications for financial responsibility. It is essential for voters to consider the broader implications of such policies beyond the immediate benefits promised by the administration.
