On August 5, the House Judiciary Committee issued an interim report captioned “Terror at Our Door: How the Biden-Harris Administration’s Open-Border Policies Undermine National Security and Endanger Americans”.

Presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has named Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to replace her as the vice presidential candidate for the Party of Jackson.
