Conservative commentator Scott Jennings, a rare voice on CNN, has slammed Vice President Kamala Harris’ upcoming visit to the US-Mexico border, calling it a transparent political stunt and an attempt to appear tough on immigration ahead of the 2024 election.
Jennings, a former Bush administration official, argued that Harris’ stance on border security and immigration is well known, pointing to her past statements and the administration’s policies over the past three years. He believes the public won’t be fooled by this sudden focus on the border, especially given the ongoing crisis and the public’s perception of Democrats on the issue.
“The American people are going to see [Donald Trump] as tough on it, tougher than she will ever want to be on it,” Jennings said on CNN NewsNight, adding that the public doesn’t trust Democrats on the issue due to their handling of the border crisis.
This sentiment was echoed by former President Donald Trump who also criticized Harris’ visit, calling it a “con” on the public.
The timing of the visit, planned for this Friday, has raised eyebrows, particularly as the 2024 election approaches. Many see it as an attempt to address a major vulnerability in Harris’ potential presidential bid.
This news comes as the southern border continues to face challenges, with record numbers of migrants crossing into the United States.
