Harris campaign weighs trip to the US southern border amid polling concerns

Campaign officials are weighing a potential visit by Vice President Kamala Harris to the US-Mexico border while in Arizona on Friday as the campaign tries to close the gap with former President Donald Trump on the issue of immigration, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.

Immigration has featured prominently in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats, grappling with years of border crises, have tried to flip the script on Republicans after the GOP blocked a bipartisan border measure earlier this year.

Some Harris campaign officials remain concerned about the gap in polling, which shows Trump holding a lead on the issue, but also see an opportunity to narrow a gap they believe is closing and try to shut down GOP attacks over her not visiting the border enough, according to one of the sources.

Harris previously visited the border while vice president and has cited her work as a border state senator and attorney general.

No final decision has been made, according to another source.

CNN reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Friday’s visit to Arizona also comes at a time when border crossings are the lowest they’ve been since 2020 – and comes on the heels of new polling that shows Trump leading in the battleground state.

It won’t work.
It’s like Dukakis in a tank.

Too late and not believable. She would LOSE support after not going to the border for 4 years.

Lets just put up a permanent podium on the border so these corrupt lawyer politicians can make their endless photo op junkets to the border to peddle their bull shit for the cameras.

Pretty stupid move...Remember...as Border Czar....her role was to write a paper on why this was happening...And according to her past word salads.....she has nothing to do with the border itself.

Obvious pandering at this point if she were to do this.

Hmmm...was she a state senator the past 4 years?

Was she an AG the past 4 years?

Seems like there’s a gap in her resume. Maybe some enterprising journo can ask about that resume gap.

Maybe she took a Gap 4 Years?
