White House, Left Worries VP Harris Failed in Latin America

White House staffers gave the thumbs-down to the claimed success of Vice President Kamala Harris’ visit to Latin America this week, CNN reported.

The Democrat-allied CNN learned from unnamed sources the White House is concerned her lackluster response during an NBC News interview that aired Tuesday as to if she will visit the border will overshadow her trip and render it unsuccessful.

Vice President Kamala Harris endured a rocky first foreign trip since taking office, with sources telling CNN her two-day swing through Mexico and Guatemala left some administration officials quietly perplexed about what they perceive as her bumpy answers to questions about whether she will go to the US-Mexico border.

Several sources say there was a real hope inside the White House that Harris’ first trip abroad would be a success, and worry that what looked like ill-prepared answers to that inevitable question would overshadow it.

Harris has resisted a bipartisan push to visit the border even after President Joe Biden tasked her with leading the White House response to the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico line and address the “root causes” fueling the record surge of migrants predominantly from the Central American Northern Triangle countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras.

The VP and her team are keeping a distance from the border crisis because they believe it could be politically damaging to Harris’s ambition to become president one day, CNN reported earlier this month, citing anonymous administration officials and experts who say addressing the migration drivers will require dealing with the situation at the border?

She’s on a trip doing exactly that, exactly what the President asked her to do.”.

In addition to charging Harris with addressing the “root causes” of migration from Central America,  “I’ve asked her … to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle … [in] stemming the migration to our southern border,” the president said on March 24.

First, seeking asylum at any US border is a 100% legal method of arrival. Second, the US spent decades contributing to regime change and destabilization in Latin America.
