House Republicans are targeting Vice President Kamala Harris as she launches her presidential campaign, criticizing her qualifications and handling of the southern border. Some Republicans have labeled her a “DEI hire” and one lawmaker even moved to impeach her. However, House Speaker Mike Johnson has advised members to focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks. Despite this, some Republicans continue to make controversial remarks against Harris. The move to impeach Harris has not gained much support among GOP lawmakers, with many expressing doubt about the likelihood of impeachment.
Republicans have also passed a resolution condemning Harris and the White House’s actions at the southern border, with six Democratic lawmakers joining them. Critics have labeled Harris as a “border czar” although she was never formally given that title. Former President Donald Trump has also launched attacks against Harris on various issues including abortion, gun rights, and immigration.
Republicans at the RNC have been trying to contrast the Biden-Harris administration with the Trump administration, with hopes of highlighting their own solutions for issues facing the nation. Johnson emphasized the importance of a thoughtful debate comparing the records of the Biden-Harris ticket with the Trump administration. The focus of House Republicans going forward will be on policy issues and contrasting the Biden-Harris record with the solutions presented by the Trump administration.
