  • Border Visit

    Kamala Harris's recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border has ignited a political firestorm. argues that Harris missed opportunities to appear stronger on immigration but acknowledges the strategic value of her visit 1. questions whether the visit will sway public opinion or merely highlight perceived weaknesses 1. Harris's strong stance on other issues, like the elimination of Nasrallah, showcases her commitment to national security 2.

    I think it's both. I think that she has missed numerous opportunities to be stronger on the border, to appear stronger.
