Harris Was Early ‘No’ Vote on Border Wall

“A little-noticed vote cast last year by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) angered her fellow Democrats, but it also gave her a way to stand out from the crowd on the key issue of immigration if, as expected, she seeks the party’s presidential nomination in 2020,” Bloomberg reports.

“Defying President Trump’s demand for $5.7 billion in wall funding is a unifying message for Democrats with the 2020 campaign already under way. But in February 2018, Democrats were willing to grant Trump $25 billion to build a barrier on the U.S.-Mexico border in exchange for giving young undocumented ‘Dreamers’ a path to citizenship.”

“Harris was one of just three Senate Democrats to reject that deal, provoking the anger of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, colleagues and some immigration activists… Some of them suggested that Harris already had 2020 in mind.”
