Vice President Kamala Harris and her staff quickly sought to make one thing clear: She wasn’t charged with managing the southern border. Three years later, that task looms over Harris’ unprecedented campaign for the White House, becoming a central line of attack from Republicans. In the first rally of her 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday, Harris didn’t mention border security. Honduran Minister of Investment Miguel Medina argued that having the White House behind the initiative has been instrumental in bringing big companies and private-sector money into the region. “If it wasn’t for this being moved from the White House, there’s … no way we could have had the success that it’s had,” Medina added.
