As the Democratic Party poohbahs convene in Chicago to ratify the historical changes at the top of their ticket, behind the scenes, a very D.C. parlor game is playing out: If she wins the presidency, what will Kamala Harris’s foreign policy look like, and whom will she appoint to implement it? 

If anyone had been hoping for a clue from the party’s platform, they would have been sorely disappointed. The document, published on Sunday night ahead of the convention opening, details at length the foreign policy of… “President Biden’s second term.” Incredibly, this wasn’t a one-off typo or a two- or even three-off. It’s the entire foreign policy section, from Ukraine and Russia to the Middle East. Evidently, whatever committee assembled the platform did not have the desire—or, more likely, the time—to update it after Biden stepped aside and Harris took over. But Democratic “Blob” insiders don’t see a problem with it. “In a strange way, I think it gives her freedom to not be perfectly aligned and not to be pinned down by anything in writing,” one source close to the Biden administration told me. “Politically, I kind of like it.”
