A Harris Presidency Would Endanger Us All | Opinion

"In stark contrast, Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, offer the possibility of a very different approach. They advocate for policies focused on reducing U.S. military engagement worldwide and de-escalating ongoing conflicts. Don't let Harris' smile and social media persona fool you." . . .

"Not that long ago, the idea of Kamala Harris becoming the next president of the United States seemed laughable, even delusional. But things have changed. Not only is she competing with and outperforming Donald Trump in some polls, but the vice president also has the backing of the Obamas.

"On Friday, July 26, Barack and Michelle Obama endorsed the vice president. "At a time when the stakes have never been higher, she gives us all reason to hope," they said.

"On the contrary, Harris gives us all reason for concern.

"First, her public image as an advocate for racial equality sharply contrasts with her track record, particularly on criminal justice issues. Her resistance to the early release of non-violent offenders—despite her supposed commitment to reform—reveals a disconnect between her rhetoric and her actions.

"Not only is she disingenuous, Harris doesn't appear to take her role as vice president seriously. In 2020, she was tasked with managing the southern border. Admittedly, this is a challenging and often thankless role, particularly given the scale of what many consider the nation's largest crisis. However, it seems she has shown next to no actual interest in addressing the issue. As Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens recently noted, Harris has not reached out to him since his appointment in July 2023. Think about that for a second. While countless migrants were entering the country illegally, Harris couldn't even be bothered to make a phone call to Owens.

"America First Legal, a nonprofit organization founded by Stephen Miller, who was a senior advisor to Donald Trump during his presidency, is currently conducting seven investigations into her tenure as California attorney general." . . .
