Vice President Kamala Harris is due to return to Austin, Texas, as the keynote speaker for the Texas Democratic Party Johnson-Jordan Reception on Oct. 8.
AUSTIN, Texas — With Gov. Greg Abbott’s political move of , many suspect the VP has much to address.
Abbott has repeatedly criticized Harris, the Biden administration's border czar, calling on her to visit the Texas-Mexico border and for the administration to enact tougher restrictions there. "Our supposed Border Czar, Vice President Kamala Harris, has yet to even visit the border to see firsthand the impact of the open border policies she has helped implement, even going so far as to claim the border is ‘secure.’ Texas will continue sending migrants to sanctuary cities like Washington, D.C. until President Biden and Border Czar Harris step up and do their jobs to secure the border," Abbott wrote in a Sept. 15 news release.
Democrats, meanwhile, are thrilled that Harris is coming to Texas to help raise party funds ahead of November elections.“We’re grateful for all the work President Biden and Vice President Harris have done in Washington to deliver for hard-working Texans—and we’re equally thankful that they’re so invested in winning state races in Texas so we can reverse the dangerous course Greg Abbott and his extremist Republican cronies have plunged our state down.
