Vice President Kamala Harris no longer supports a nationwide ban on fracking.
For Harris, the main Democratic candidate for president following President Joe Biden’s exit from the race last week, the position is a flip from her 2019 run for the White House.
The vice president’s campaign pushed back against former President Donald Trump’s statements that she would ban fracking for oil or natural gas.

“Trump’s false claims about fracking bans are an obvious attempt to distract from his own plans to enrich oil and gas executives at the expense of the middle class,” a Harris spokesperson said.
