Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz would be wise to go on offense over immigration as the Minnesota governor heads to his lone debate with Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, according political analysts.
The vice presidential nominees square off Tuesday in New York and some analysts say this debate could matter in the seven swing states expected to decide the presidential election. Vance, who in a fundraising email Monday called the showdown “pivotal,” almost certainly will use the session to continue the Trump campaign’s attempts to paint Harris and Walz as weak on illegal immigration.
Former President Donald Trump and Harris in recent days have traded barbs over the issue, with the vice president laying out her vision for the issue Friday in Arizona at a campaign event after touring a section of the U.S.-Mexico border.
