The Trump campaign has strongly rebuked recent claims suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris is moderating her stance on border wall construction, labelling these assertions as “preposterous,” according to Fox News.
The controversy arose from media reports indicating a potential shift in Harris’s position on the border wall. Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, criticized mainstream media for allegedly failing to challenge Harris’s silence on the issue while her campaign sources purportedly support President Trump’s border wall, denouncing it as a “false claim.”
Allegations of Harris’s changing stance
Axios reported that Harris may have altered her stance on the border wall, pointing to her support for a bipartisan border security bill introduced in January.This bill, supported by Harris, President Biden, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, includes border funding but allocates less money for wall construction compared to Trump’s proposed $25 billion. Despite this, the Trump campaign insists Harris has consistently opposed the wall.
In her Democratic National Convention speech, Harris highlighted her dedication to border security and pledged to revive the bipartisan border security bill that Trump allegedly blocked. The Harris campaign has also released ads portraying her as resolute on border security, featuring images of the Trump-era border wall.
Trump’s campaign maintains Harris’s consistent opposition
Despite these ads, the Trump campaign emphasized Harris’s enduring opposition to the border wall. During the Trump administration, over 400 miles of the wall were built, but the Biden-Harris administration halted further construction in 2021. Harris has previously criticized the wall as “un-American” and ineffective, calling it “a complete waste of taxpayer money” in 2020.
The Trump campaign has linked Harris to the cessation of wall construction, attributing it to her role as “border czar,” though her responsibilities mainly involved international diplomacy on migration.
Jason Miller‘s strong denial
Trump senior adviser Jason Miller reinforced the campaign’s position, vehemently dismissing the reports as “total bullshit.” Miller asserted, “Harris opposes the wall, has always opposed the wall and stopped wall construction as VP.”
