Harris had come under recent scrutiny after Republicans pointed out that, after being tasked by President Joe Biden to be head of diplomatic efforts at the southern U.S.-Mexico border, she had yet to actually visit the border. Politico reported she will be accompanied by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and the trip comes just days before former President Donald Trump is set to make his own appearance. Harris has repeatedly pushed against the criticisms, stating that she is more focused on trying to tackle the root of the issue that is causing thousands of migrants from Central America to head to the border seeking refuge....

In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, Harris said the White House would be as “supportive as much as we possibly can” amid the California recall election campaign.

Harris delivered a speech in Tallahassee, Florida, on Sunday to mark the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court case that for decades guaranteed abortion rights across the United States. However, the Court last year overturned the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. As a result, several states quickly moved to ban or greatly limit the medical procedure, stifling access for millions of Americans.

A poll from the Harvard University Center for American Political Studies (CAPS) has found that Harris enjoys 39 support to the Republican governor’s 37 percent in a theoretical contest.
