Kamala Harris won't say whether she supports death penalty

For two decades, Vice President Harris has opposed the death penalty. Now her campaign is declining to say whether she'd fight to end it as president.

Harris and her team have dodged questions about what she believes on several policy fronts as she's changed some of the liberal positions she's held.

In a shift, the Democratic Party changed its official platform this summer to remove opposition to the death penalty, which a small majority of Americans support.

The party's platforms in 2016 and 2020 had called for ending capital punishment.
