Supreme Court Rulings Challenge Biden’s Policies, Raising Concerns for Kamala Harris’s Potential Presidency.

The Supreme Court has allowed federal judges to freeze many of President Joe Biden’s progressive policies, including those on labor, climate change, and corporate greed. This decision has raised concerns that a Kamala Harris victory may not protect these policies. In Texas, a federal judge blocked Biden’s ban on noncompete agreements for workers, a Mississippi judge temporarily halted his discrimination protections for transgender people, and an Ohio-based appeals court temporarily halted a policy preventing internet companies from throttling service. The court rulings, particularly one overturning the “Chevron doctrine, make it more difficult for Harris to secure her own agenda. While having a successor from the same party traditionally helps protect and continue a president’s legacy, these rulings have made it harder for her to defend Biden’s.
