Kamala Harris Visits U.S.-Mexico Border in Arizona

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to visit the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, marking her first trip there as a presidential candidate amidst rising immigration rhetoric from former President Donald Trump. During her visit to Douglas, Arizona, she will advocate for stricter border security measures and criticize Trump for obstructing a bipartisan immigration bill. Polls indicate Harris is currently trailing Trump in Arizona, a key battleground state, which she narrowly won in 2020. While local leaders express optimism about her visit, experts doubt it will significantly impact upcoming Senate and House races. Harris' campaign has focused more on Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania and Michigan, where polling shows she performs better than in Sun Belt areas. This visit is perceived as a strategic move to shift narratives around her candidacy and address immigration concerns directly.
