Vice President Kamala Harris responds to GOP calls for her to visit border
by President Joe Biden with handling the border crisis in March—why she has yet to travel to the border.
Harris responded that she would visit “at some point,” before launching into an impassioned defense of the Biden White House. “We’ve been to the border,” Harris asserted several times, before Holt noted that while members of the Biden Administration may have visited, the vice president has yet to do so.
Visibly disgruntled by the question, Harris tartly replied that she also has yet to travel to Europe, before telling Holt she doesn’t “understand the point” he’s making.“I care about—listen, I care about what’s happening at the border,” Harris said. “I’m in Guatemala because my focus is dealing with the root cause of migration.”In March, Biden dispatched Harris to handle the migration crisis and to meet with Central American nations to address the root causes of the issue.
