Democrats vote to condemn Harris

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a Republican-led resolution condemning Vice President Kamala Harris for her handling of immigration policies, particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border, following President Biden's suspension of his reelection campaign. The resolution, which aimed to criticize Harris as the 'Border Czar,' passed with a vote of 220-196, with six Democrats crossing party lines to support it. Republican leaders, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, accused Harris of failing to secure the border and contributing to a humanitarian and national security crisis, while asserting that the Biden administration's policies have led to record illegal immigration. The White House countered by highlighting a significant drop in border encounters over the past seven weeks. Despite being labeled 'Border Czar,' Harris never officially held that title, which was initially assigned to Roberta Jacobson. This political maneuvering is seen as an attempt to tie Harris's immigration record to her candidacy as the likely Democratic nominee for the upcoming presidential election.
