TUCSON, Arizona — Vice President Kamala Harris will visit the Arizona-Mexico border Friday, a first in more than 1,300 days since President Joe Biden took office and the southern border descended into a yearslong crisis that Republicans have argued was her responsibility to clean up.
Harris finds herself in a difficult position trying to save face in a battleground state on an issue that she has little to show for with just five weeks until the election.
Immigration has skyrocketed in recent weeks to become the most-searched election-related topic on Google. Immigration and the border are significant issues that Harris cannot escape and now will attempt to address head-on when she sets foot in a remote border town called Douglas.
“The American people deserve a President who cares more about border security than playing political games,” Harris plans to say Friday while speaking at a small venue roughly 2 miles from the border, according to remarks shared with the Washington Examiner ahead of Friday.
