Harris concedes 2024 race as immigration issues hinder campaign momentum

foxnews.com

Vice President Kamala Harris conceded the 2024 presidential race, struggling to connect with voters on immigration and border security. A Fox News analysis showed 52% preferred President-elect Donald Trump on this issue, while only 36% supported Harris. Harris faced challenges due to her past immigration policies and her role in the Biden administration, which saw a surge in border crossings after rolling back Trump-era measures. Critics labeled her the "border czar," a title the White House rejected. Despite efforts to address the crisis, including a bipartisan border security bill that failed, Harris could not overcome Trump's advantage on immigration. Her previous statements on decriminalizing illegal crossings also resurfaced as points of contention during her campaign.
