Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said during Wednesday night's debate that her running mate Joe Biden "has been very clear" about not ending fracking if elected president -- but past remarks from both of them indicate that their positions on the issue have been inconsistent.
Harris herself, for instance, publicly supported a fracking ban when she was seeking her party's presidential nomination. During a CNN town hall event, Harris emphatically opposed fracking.
“There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking,” Harris said, explaining that if elected she would first push for addressing the practice on public land, and then support legislation that would do more.
