Biden Endorses Harris for 2024 Presidential Run

Vice President Kamala Harris's handling of immigration issues has come under scrutiny, particularly her 2021 admonition to migrants not to come to the U.S., which seems ineffective as over 8 million migrants have since entered the country. Critics, including Republicans, have labeled her tenure as 'border czar' a failure, despite her actual responsibilities focusing on addressing the root causes of migration in Central America. Harris's infamous interview with NBC's Lester Holt further dented her reputation, as she struggled to justify her lack of visits to the border. In a recent political shift, President Biden endorsed Harris as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential race, highlighting the ongoing immigration crisis as a core issue. The Biden-Harris administration's executive order to halt asylum-seeking during surges has drawn criticism, indicating a chaotic response to the ongoing border challenges. Harris's strategy of improving conditions in Central America is seen as a long-term solution, but critics argue it has not yielded immediate results.
