Rep Kamala Harris

Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney faced backlash for using racially charged language during a Fox News interview, labeling Vice President Kamala Harris as a 'DEI hire' and criticizing her record. Social media users condemned Tenney's comments as blatant racism, highlighting the GOP's struggle with such sentiments. Meanwhile, criticism of Harris's tenure as 'border czar' has intensified, with former Border Patrol Union president Brandon Judd stating that she failed to implement necessary policies, contributing to record-high illegal crossings. Some House Democrats, including Rep. Don Davis, have expressed dissatisfaction with the Biden administration's handling of the immigration crisis, yet they continue to endorse Harris for the 2024 presidential nomination. As Harris approaches the nomination, her past statements on immigration have come under scrutiny, suggesting a disconnect between her previous views and the current border situation. These developments reflect a growing divide within the Democratic Party on immigration issues as they prepare for the upcoming election.
