In the White House, Kamala Harris promoted a bill that could have granted blanket amnesty to 11 million undocumented individuals, while invoking Jimmy Carter to encourage supporters to vote early. First Lady Jill Biden stated that President Biden dropping out of the race was the “right call.” Harris’ proposed death tax reform could impact more than just the ultra-wealthy, and a lack of counter-drone procedures at the Pentagon has led to security incursions like at Langley. Critics have slammed Harris for a pre-recorded video aired during a Catholic charity dinner.
