The lines that have long defined each party’s policy priorities are blurring.

The contest may well hinge on how many disaffected suburban Republicans vote for Harris and how much of the Democrats ’ traditional base migrates to Trump .

Both candidates have taken stances that would have once been anathema to their bases, scrambling longtime assumptions about what each party stands for.

Both candidates are embracing policies that appeal to the other side, but their priorities still align with their party’s tradition.

Trump opposes abortion rights and says he is proud that the Supreme Court he transformed with conservative appointees overturned Roe v. Wade .

Harris supports abortion rights as they were protected under Roe .

She backs a ban on assault weapons, supports labor unions and voting rights.
