Harris has gone 44 days without a news conference since being tapped for border crisi
Quote:The Biden administration plans to send a top representative to the U.S.-Mexico border region on Friday – but it won’t be Vice President Kamala Harris.
Thursday was the 44th day that Harris has gone without visiting the border or holding a news conference about her duties as Biden’s manager of the border crisis – a role she took on in late March.
On Friday, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas will visit a migrant processing facility in Donna, Texas, KVEO-TV of Brownsville, Texas, reported.
After the tour, which is expected to begin around noon local time, Mayorkas is expected to address reporters at a news conference about his visit, the station reported.
The secretary’s plan mirror the types of actions that Republicans and other critics have been asking Harris and President Biden to take since assuming their offices in January.
Instead, the administration is sending Mayorkas – making at least his fourth border visit -- and other officials to the region.
On Thursday, the vice president held an in-person meeting on voting rights, as election laws at the state level continue to be a contentious issue between the two major parties.
On Friday, Harris’ activities will reportedly include a panel discussion about India’s coronavirus crisis, with a question-and-answer session to follow, the Times of India reported.
Mayorkas last visited the border region in April – drawing allegations soon after that he had quickly broken a promise to hold weekly meetings with the region’s sheriffs.

She's gotta stay safe. You know, corona virus and all.

Exactly. She’d just sound like a giggling 5th grade girl anyway. Besides, her mouth is usually too full to give a news conference

Who has she handed it off to? AOC? Omar? Maybe they can fill us in...
Which reminds me, haven’t heard much out of the whacko’s in the squad lately. Is Biden* taking up the slack?

Im actually pleased with her thus far. The less I see or hear from her the better.
