Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker became the latest Democrat to defend Kamala Harris’ ever-evolving position on immigration, arguing it is “natural” for the vice president to change her mind over time.
“It’s natural, of course, that you adapt your policies to meet the moment,” Pritzker said during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday.
The comments come as Harris has faced accusations of “flip-flopping” on several former policy positions by Republicans, including on illegal immigration and the border.

“Kamala Harris continues to flip-flop on policy issues, the latest being the border wall,” Rep. Erin Houchin, R-Ind., said after Harris signaled her support for a bipartisan border bill that includes funding for the U.S.-Mexico border wall. “Too bad we have the receipts. Don’t fall for her false promises; she welcomed this invasion, and if she had any real plans to address the border crisis, she would do it now.”
Other Republicans, such as Trump senior adviser Jason Miller, have argued that Harris has not changed her position on the wall, arguing that she would still stop construction of the barrier if elected.
“Harris opposes the wall, has always opposed the wall, and stopped wall construction as VP,” Miller told Fox News last month.
