Harris is not in a position where she can do that until after the election. I'm not arguing that she will or won't... only that she can't right now regardless of her actual stance.

You're not 'arguing' anything at all. You're just declaring it to be the case with so much as a scrap of evidence offered.

All the evidence provided indicates a sizeable demographic of ex-Democrat voters who would readily vote Democrat again if they changed policy on arms sales.

No polling data from anywhere indicates that keeping arms sales is the key to the swing states.

All polling data that's been provided indicates that banning arms sales is the key to the swing states.

So what is tying Harris's hands exactly? Spell it out.

Well a vice president can't just change policy against the wishes of the president. Nor do they regularly deviate in public opinion. That's not something that needs to be looked up.

As to weather she would actually do that, well, only the future knows that.

Apologies for my lack of clarity. I was using 'Harris' as shorthand for 'the Harris campaign'. I mean to ask why they wouldn't change policy... The campaign team.
