Former President Donald Trump is set to make a high-profile visit to the southern border on Thursday, just hours before Democratic rival Kamala Harris accepts her party’s nomination. Trump’s campaign aims to shift the focus back to the former president amid the Democratic National Convention, criticizing Harris for the ongoing border crisis.
Trump will visit Cochise County in Arizona, where he is expected to address crimes committed by immigrants who entered the country illegally, concerns about job availability for Americans, and the fentanyl epidemic. His running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, will host an immigration event in Georgia on the same day.
Immigration remains a top concern for voters, and despite a decrease in border crossings in recent months, the GOP believes it can win the election by tying Harris to the spike in illegal immigration. The event in Arizona will be livestreamed, and Trump’s campaign is determined to keep the spotlight on the former president during the Democratic convention.
The visit comes as Trump continues to advocate for tougher border security measures and criticize Harris for her handling of the crisis. With immigration at the forefront of the election debate, Trump’s trip to the border aims to highlight the ongoing issues and rally support for his campaign’s stance on the matter.
