Harris to visit southern border; Trump to speak in Michigan

Harris will push for tougher border security in a speech today at the southern border, a senior campaign official said.

In her remarks, Harris will repeat a frequent attack by highlighting Trump’s role in squashing a bipartisan border bill this year, the official said.

“The American people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games,” Harris will say, according to the official. The official said Harris will also call combating the flow of fentanyl “a top priority” if she is elected.

Polling indicates voters believe Trump would handle border and migration issues better than Harris. Today’s border visit will be Harris’ first as the Democratic presidential nominee and her second as vice president.
