Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) said Monday that she will no longer accept donations from corporate political action committees, a shift in her public position from just a few weeks ago. With Harris’s new stance, announced during a radio interview, she joins a handful of other progressive Democratic senators who are also considered possible 2020 presidential candidates in pledging not to take PAC money. At a town hall in California this month, Harris was asked by an audience member if she would turn down donations offered by a corporation or corporate lobbyist. It depends,” Harris said, prompting the audience member to respond: “Wrong answer.”“Well, that’s not the answer you want to hear,” Harris said. Others in the Senate who have made similar pledges not to take corporate PAC money include Sens.
