Kamala Harris Vows to ‘Stop the Flow of Illegal Fentanyl’ After Drug Deaths Hit Record High on Her Watch
SUMMARY
Vice President Kamala Harris is facing harsh criticism as she visits Douglas, Arizona, to address the ongoing fentanyl crisis. Harris vowed to "stop the flow of illegal fentanyl" across the southern border, despite the surge in drug-related deaths under her and President Biden’s administration. From 2021 to 2023, over 325,000 Americans died from overdoses, with fentanyl being a significant contributor. Anne Fundner, whose 15-year-old son died from fentanyl poisoning, testified before Congress, blaming the administration’s open border policies. "I hold Joe Biden and Kamala Harris directly responsible for my son’s death," Fundner stated, accusing them of neglecting the crisis. While Harris promotes new federal funding to combat fentanyl trafficking, critics argue her efforts are too little, too late, with record-high overdose deaths highlighting the administration’s failure to address the problem effectively.
