Vice President Harris’s campaign is touting her record on immigration policy in an ad arguing she will be tough on the hot-button issue of the southern border.
The 30-second ad, titled “Tougher,” highlights the vice president’s work as a prosecutor in California before she became a senator.
“Kamala Harris has spent decades fighting violent crime. As a border state prosecutor, she took on drug cartels and jailed gang members for smuggling weapons and drugs across the border,” the ad reads.
It adds that “as vice president, she backed the toughest border control bill in decades. And as president, she will hire thousands more border agents and crack down on fentanyl and human trafficking.”
“Fixing the border is tough. So is Kamala Harris.”
The Harris campaign has tried to fend off attacks from former President Trump’s campaign on the border, which the Republicans are leaning into keeping a major issue ahead of November’s election.
“Kamala Harris was put in sole charge of the Border. It quickly became the WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS BORDER IN HISTORY. As President, Harris will completely DESTROY OUR COUNTRY!” Trump said in a Truth Social post late Sunday.
