Kamala Harris’s policy page is insulting. She had nearly four years to secure the border and didn’t. The Democrats want you to believe she had nothing to do with any of Biden’s policies and failures, even though she was the last person in the room.

“Kamala finally has what is very generously being described as a “policy page” on her website,” The Trump Camp said. “She says her plan is a “New Way Forward,” but she’s been in the White House for four years, and it’s been a total disaster,” they added.

President Joe Biden will veto the House GOP proposal to combine a short-term spending measure with an election integrity bill if it passes through both chambers of Congress, the White House announced on Monday. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a statement that said the Biden administration “strongly opposes” the passage of H.R.9494, which would provide funding for the federal government for six months — through March 28 — in addition to instituting the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. “Instead of working in a bipartisan manner to keep the Government open and provide emergency funding for disaster needs, House Republicans have chosen brinkmanship,” the OMB said in its statement of policy, adding later, “If the President were presented with H.R. 9494, he would veto it.” The SAVE Act, which passed the House as a standalone bill in July with some bipartisan support but never got taken up by the Democrat-controlled Senate, aims to require that individuals show proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in elections for federal office and pushes states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls. Proponents of the SAVE Act argue the bill is necessary to shore up the security of the voting process. In vouching for the legislation, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) released a white paper that warned of a National Voter Registration Act “loophole” in which states do not ask for proof of citizenship when registering an individual to vote in federal elections and cited evidence of noncitizens appearing on voter rolls in places such as Massachusetts, Ohio, and Virginia. “There is a danger that the NVRA loophole, combined with the Biden Administration’s willful disregard of U.S. immigration law that has allowed the U.S. foreign-born population to grow by 5.1 million people in the last two years alone and by 6.6 million since President Biden took office, could lead to millions of noncitizens registering to vote,” the paper said. “Should this happen, it would jeopardize the integrity of our elections, turning the outcome of the 2024 election over to foreign persons and potentially even foreign interests.” The OMB’s policy statement claimed the SAVE Act is “unnecessary” because it is already a federal crime for noncitizens to vote in federal elections and states already have “effective safeguards” in place. Further, the bill would make it “much harder for all eligible Americans to register to vote and increase the risk that eligible voters are purged from voter rolls,” the statement added. Congress is running out of time to reach a deal on a short-term spending measure if lawmakers returning to Washington, D.C., from their summer recess are unable to pass appropriations legislation to fund the various federal agencies for the coming fiscal year. A government shutdown could happen by the beginning of October without some kind of agreement in the coming weeks. Democrat lawmakers, joined by at least a couple of Republicans, have come out against the House GOP plan to link a six-month spending bill combined with the SAVE Act. There also seems to be disagreement over how far a continuing resolution should go. Axios reported Democrats and the White House prefer a three-month spending measure, which would lead to a December lame-duck session on government funding — once it is clear which party won the presidential election and control of the two chambers of Congress in 2025. The OMB statement criticized the six-month continuing resolution on a number of fronts, saying it would be particularly “irresponsible” in regard to national security because it would “would erode our military advantage relative to the People’s Republic of China, degrade readiness, and fail to provide the support our troops deserve.” It also said a “CR ending March 28th also takes the Congress dangerously close to the deadline when across-the-board cuts would come into place next year, as dictated by the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023.” Fox News reported on Monday that Johnson said he believes the House can pass a continuing resolution with the provision of requiring proof of citizenship. In a post to X, senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram noted that he asked the speaker what his fallback position was, to which Johnson replied, “There is no fallback position. This is a righteous fight.”

Vice President Kamala Harris pledged during her presidential campaign in 2019 to use taxpayer money to fund sex change surgeries for illegal aliens locked up in detention, according to a largely ignored questionnaire that she filled out at the time. CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski reported that the then-senator indicated on the American Civil Liberties Union questionnaire that she supported decriminalizing federal drug possession, making “drastic cuts” to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and pledged to no longer detain illegal aliens. Harris was asked on the questionnaire if she as president would use “executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care – including those in prison and immigration detention – will have access to comprehensive treatment associated with gender transition, including all necessary surgical care.” She answered, “Yes.” Harris explained her answer by claiming that it was “important that transgender individuals who rely on the state for care receive the treatment they need, which includes access to treatment associated with gender transition.” “Transition treatment is a medical necessity, and I will direct all federal agencies responsible for providing essential medical care to deliver transition treatment,” she claimed. Harris’ campaign did not answer questions about whether she still supports these extreme far-left policies. “The Vice President’s positions have been shaped by three years of effective governance as part of the Biden-Harris Administration,” the campaign claimed. “As President, she will take that same pragmatic approach, focusing on common-sense solutions for the sake of progress.” Harris’ campaign has claimed on numerous occasions that she no longer supports many of the extreme positions that she had during the 2020 election. However, the statements often only come from the unnamed sources on the campaign that mainstream publications grant complete anonymity to. Donald Trump Jr. responded to CNN’s report by posting on X: “It’s bad enough that Kamala Harris bragged about allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted Haitian Migrants into our country, but she also pledged to cut funding for ICE and give free taxpayer funded trans surgeries to illegal immigrants who were detained by authorities.” It’s bad enough that Kamala Harris bragged about allowing hundreds of thousands of unvetted Haitian Migrants into our country, but she also pledged to cut funding for ICE and give free taxpayer funded trans surgeries to illegal immigrants who were detained by authorities. pic.twitter.com/UZHfvzeI2f — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) September 9, 2024
