Promise Details
Harris promised during her 2019 campaign to eliminate cash bail, calling it discriminatory against the poor. As vice president, she voiced support for reform but no federal legislation advanced.
Why it is broken
There has been discussion and state‐level reforms, but no federal law abolishing cash bail; states undertook own reforms but promised nationwide federal action was not delivered.
