Former Biden ambassador Ken Salazar criticizes White House border policy in forthcoming book.
Ken Salazar, who served as U.S. ambassador to Mexico under President Biden, reveals in his forthcoming book that he considered running for president in 2024 due to frustration with the administration's border strategy. Salazar writes that he repeatedly asked the White House to create a border czar position and declare a border crisis, requests he says were ignored or delayed. He also criticizes the decision to tap Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee after Biden dropped out.
