Vice President Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, is scheduled to visit the US-Mexico border on Friday during a trip to Arizona, according to a report from the New York Times. This visit will mark Harris' first trip to the southern border since President Joe Biden withdrew from the presidential race in July.
The planned visit comes amid polling data indicating that a significant portion of voters believe former President Donald Trump would be more effective in handling immigration and border issues compared to Harris. However, specific details of the visit have not been released by Harris' campaign.
The trip to the border takes place as immigration and border security continue to be critical issues in the lead-up to the 2024 election, with both candidates expected to highlight their differing approaches to these topics.
