Since March 2021, she has focused on tackling the &#8220;root causes&#8221; of migration, aiming\u200c to develop\u2062 a comprehensive\u200c understanding and response to\u200b the factors driving\u200c people to leave their\u2064 home countries, such as violence, poverty, \u2063and political instability.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her efforts, Harris has faced significant scrutiny over the \u200chandling of border security,\u200d particularly as reports indicated record levels of unlawful border crossings in 2021, 2022,\u200c and\u200d 2023. Public perception has not been overwhelmingly favorable; polls \u200dreveal that a considerable portion of the electorate, \u2064including many independents, rated her performance on border issues as poor.<\/p>\n<p>In recent comments, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries defended Harris, \u2062portraying her as \u2064a &#8220;problem solver&#8221; in contrast to former President Trump, who he claims uses immigration as a political tool\u2063 without offering real solutions. Jeffries&#8217; support comes as Harris is seen as a presumptive candidate for the 2024\u2062 Democratic presidential nomination, particularly\u200c after\u200d Biden announced his decision not to run.<\/p>\n<p>This evolving narrative \u200bhighlights\u2064 the complexities of immigration policy in the Biden administration, the challenges Harris faces in securing public trust, and \u2062the broader political implications leading into \u200bthe 2024\u200c presidential elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jeffries says Harris, not Trump, is &lsquo;problem solver&rsquo; on matters like the border<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1711181\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>House Minority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hakeem-jeffries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hakeem Jeffries<\/a> (D-NY) defended Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris&rsquo;s<\/a> handling of the southern border, arguing she is a &ldquo;problem solver&rdquo; on this and multiple topics.<\/p>\n<p>Jeffries&rsquo;s praise for Harris comes as she is the presumptive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024 presidential nominee<\/a> for the Democratic Party after President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> dropped out of the race.

His support for Harris coincides with her status as the likely 2024 presidential nominee for the Democratic Party following President Joe Biden&#8217;s withdrawal from the race. Jeffries emphasized that Harris consistently generates ideas aimed at improving life for Americans, contrasting her approach with that of former President Donald Trump, who he claims exploits issues like border security for political gain without genuinely seeking solutions. Despite criticism of Harris\u2019s performance on border security\u2014where a recent poll indicated that 63% rated her efforts as \u201cpoor\u201d to \u201cfair,\u201d including 70% of independents\u2014Jeffries maintained his stance. He also discussed the upcoming House elections in 2024, suggesting there are about five competitive seats in New York where Democrats could potentially regain control.<\/p>\n<p>In preparation for the elections, Harris&#8217;s campaign launched an advertisement highlighting her commitment to reforming immigration policy while framing Trump as an obstacle to these efforts. Conversely, Trump&#8217;s campaign has countered with ads criticizing Harris\u2019s effectiveness on border issues, labeling her as &#8220;failed,&#8221; &#8220;weak,&#8221; and &#8220;dangerously liberal.&#8221; The Trump team has invested $12 million in promoting this message across various media platforms in key battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2632,"featured_media":2316739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Jeffries-scaled-1024x683.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[4021,13376,3634],"class_list":["post-2316738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-harris","tag-jeffries","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Jeffries-scaled-1024x683.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2632"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2316738"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2316738\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2316739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2316738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2316738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2316738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
