Democrat Hammers Harris For Spot She Chose To Visit On Border; Harris Denies GOP Pressure Led To Trip

Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris received criticism from her own party this week over the spot that she will be visiting on Friday on the U.S.-Mexico border, with one Democrat lawmaker calling it a politically safe trip.

Harris was called out earlier this week by Republicans for selecting to visit El Paso as opposed to the Rio Grande Valley Sector, which is more than 1,000 miles away and is the part of the border that has been hit hardest by Biden’s border crisis. “Why would Harris choose to visit El Paso over other areas of the border, like RGV or Arizona?” a Washington Post reporter wrote on Twitter. “In El Paso, she can be hosted by Rep. Veronica Escobar, who has been reliably supportive. In RGV, Laredo, AZ, Dem lawmakers have been critical of Biden admin, want more enforcement.”
