Vice President Kamala Harris is planning to visit the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona on Friday as her campaign attempts to show she is the best-prepared candidate to tackle the simmering issue of immigration.
Why it matters: Harris has faced relentless attacks from former President Trump and Republicans who claim she’s ill-equipped to handle what they’ve called a crisis at the southern border.
Driving the news: At Friday’s campaign stop in Douglas, Arizona, Harris will discuss border security, according to a campaign aide speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a trip that was still being planned.
