House GOP accuses Kamala Harris of using Zelensky as campaign surrogate, launches ‘foreign interference’ inquiry

House Republicans launched an investigation Wednesday of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to battleground Pennsylvania this week — describing it as an apparent campaign stop to benefit Vice President Kamala Harris.
James Comer (R-Ky.) demanded communications about Zelensky’s visit to a Scranton ammunition factory with Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, a key supporter of the Democratic presidential nominee.
Comer likened Zelensky’s Sunday trip — during which the Ukrainian leader was flown on an Air Force C-17 cargo jet — to former President Donald Trump’s pressure on Zelensky to investigate alleged corruption by President Biden’s family, for which Trump was impeached in 2019.
“The Biden-Harris Administration recently flew the same foreign leader — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky—on an American-taxpayer-funded flight to Pennsylvania, a battleground state in the upcoming 2024 presidential election, which has been described as the ‘trickiest battleground for Vice President Kamala Harris to win.'”
*** The Scranton Times-Tribune reported that journalists were not allowed to accompany Zelensky as he toured the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, which produces 155mm artillery shells for howitzer systems used by Ukraine ***
The Census Bureau estimates that Pennsylvania has the country’s second-highest population of Ukrainian-Americans, at nearly 100,000. Trump lost Pennsylvania by 80,555 votes in 2020. ***
“On September 22, 2024, The New Yorker published an interview with President Zelensky, in which he made multiple critical comments about the Trump-Vance ticket. President Zelensky said that President Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance, is ‘too radical.’ He further stated his belief that President Trump and his administration would not be able stop the war, despite this being one of President Trump’s main campaign platforms (and the peace in the region under the entirety of the former Trump Administration).”***
