Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, defended Kamala Harris' campaign strategy on Tuesday night, stating that she will have the opportunity to elaborate on her policies in due time.

Harris will give her only formal address to the convention on Thursday, the final night of the convention, and she will have more detail, as Newsom told Planet Chronicle’ Peter Doocy in Chicago Tuesday evening.

Newsom has defended Harris' campaign strategy, addressing criticism from detractors who argue that her approach lacks concrete policy details. Despite not having a policy section on her campaign website and not having given any interviews or held a press conference, Harris has yet to release any formal policy positions since announcing her candidacy in mid-July. However, she recently unveiled her economic agenda.

During their respective presidential campaigns, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump each had advisers generate policy documents of varying lengths and topics.

"Last week, Washington Post columnist Matt Bai questioned whether Kamala Harris intends to run a substantive campaign or if she truly requires substance at all."

On Monday, the DNC released its policy platform after having to republish it following Biden's decision to drop out of the race. The platform mentions Biden's name 287 times and until it was corrected, had a reference to Biden's "second term," suggesting Harris' supposedly forthcoming policy positions may not differ dramatically from the last administration. However, her economic policies unveiled last week, which include price control measures for the food and grocery store industry, suggested a Harris-Walz administration could potentially be far more progressive than the Biden-Harris administration.
