House Republicans on Thursday approved a resolution that condemns Vice President Harris as the Biden administration’s “Border Czar,” the latest move by GOP lawmakers to criticize Harris as she mounts a bid for the White House after President Biden withdrew from the race.
The resolution — spearheaded by Rep.
Elise Stefanik (N.Y.), the GOP conference chair — cleared the chamber in a 220-196 vote. Six Democrats voted “yes.”
House GOP leaders added the resolution to the vote schedule on Monday, one day after Biden announced that he was dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris to be the new nominee, a decision that shook the political landscape and forced Republicans to recalibrate their messaging in the race.
The resolution offers a sense of how Republicans plan to campaign against Harris.
The measure, which spans four pages, takes aim at Harris’s handling of the situation at the southern border, referring to her as the Biden administration’s “Border Czar.” Biden in 2021 selected Harris to lead the administration’s efforts to address the root causes of migration, a matter that was top of mind when Democrats entered the White House that year.
He did not, however, formally give Harris the “Border Czar” title.

Man. I’m sure glad they did that. It’d be a real shame if they did something about literally anything else.
