Vice President Kamala Harris is frustrated by her border role being "mischaracterized" by Republicans and some media outlets, CNN reported Tuesday, saying Harris was not in charge of stemming border crossings themselves but rather "root causes" of migration. CNN's Natasha Bertrand said there was a "lot of confusion" around Harris' role when President Biden put her in charge of the border crisis in March. "Republicans kind of seized on that confusion, and they made it seem as though Vice President Harris was going to be the new border czar," she said.
