Harris hears criticism from all sides amid difficult first trip

June 10, 2021

Vice President Harris is enduring a difficult first foreign trip as vice president, highlighting the difficulty she faces in her role as the Biden administration’s chief official handling the flow of migrants from Central America. And in an NBC News interview on Tuesday, Harris flubbed a response asking if she had plans to visit the border. “We are going to the border, we’ve been to the border,” Harris said before NBC’s Lester Holt reminded her that she hasn’t been to the border. I think that explains the general careful nature of how she has been talking about the challenges in the system. There is no valor in being in the front of the parade on the issue of immigration,” said Payne.
