Asked what she would do on Day 1 of her presidency, Harris did not lay out any specific plans, speaking generally of promoting an “opportunity economy” that strengthens the middle class but not spelling out executive orders or other immediate actions. She was also pressed on her abandonment of more liberal positions, including banning fracking. Harris also suggested she would appoint a Republican to her cabinet, a symbolic move that suggests she would seek to govern in a bipartisan manner. She did not indicate who she might have in mind.
