Vice President Harris will visit the southern border on Friday, her first trip to the area since being tasked in March with addressing root causes of migration and after months of pressure from Republicans. Harris will visit El Paso, Texas, and will be joined by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, her office announced. The trip was first reported by Politico. Further details on what Harris will be doing in El Paso were not immediately available. Republicans and some Democrats, such as Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), have harped on the lack of a border visit from Harris.
