This strategic funding comes amid tight Democratic Senate calculations, with several\u2064 seats needing defense to maintain \u200dcontrol.<\/p>\n<p>In New\u200d York, Republican leaders are capitalizing on Adams\u2019s \u2064indictment to criticize the Democratic establishment in the state, suggesting it could \u200bsignificantly\u2063 impact upcoming elections.

Douglas, however, is an interesting site to pick since it hasn&rsquo;t seen the types of problems some other places Republicans highlight during their border trips have. The town, 125 miles from Tucson, has been battling a drug crisis because of over-the-border smuggling, but it hasn&rsquo;t experienced the surge in border crossings other towns have.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> obtained a preview of her speech, in which she is expected to say, &ldquo;The American people deserve a president who cares more about border security than playing political games.&rdquo; However, Rep. <strong>Juan Ciscomani<\/strong> (R-AZ), from the neighboring 7th District, said her visit &ldquo;smells like nothing more than a photo opportunity.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Harris has a tough road ahead of her in her quest to reassure voters she will be strong on the border. She has previously been sympathetic to the idea of reducing immigrant detention, deportations, and stopping construction of the border wall. But decreasing border crossing numbers might give her the leeway to reassure voters the matter is under control so close to the election.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more about Harris&rsquo;s trip to the border <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3167254\/harris-biggest-weakness-trip-to-border\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>here<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Senate races funding heats up <\/h2>\n<p>Sen. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gary-peters\/\" title=\"Gary Peters\">Gary Peters<\/a><\/strong>  (D-MI), who runs the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dscc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee<\/a>, has been making some last-minute, heavy-hitting investments in Senate races across the country.
