Fox News Correspondent Peter Doocy questioned White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Vice President Kamala Harris’ stance regarding the U.S.-Mexico border. Doocy highlighted a contrast between Harris’ 2020 campaign promise to hire more border agents and the administration’s current approach. He asked, “How long have you guys known that Vice President Kamala Harris does not think President Biden is doing a good job at the border?”
Jean-Pierre pushed back, accusing Doocy of misinterpreting Harris’ views, and deflected blame to Republicans and former President Trump for obstructing border security efforts. She emphasized there was no conflict between Biden and Harris on immigration policy, asserting they both shared the same goal of improving border security.
Jean-Pierre also pointed to the need for bipartisan immigration reform, blaming Republicans in Congress for inaction. Critics argue the administration’s policies, like reversing Trump-era measures, have worsened the border crisis. As encounters remain at historic highs, Harris’ evolving stance adds further complexity, leading to ongoing scrutiny of the administration’s immigration strategy.
