From the New York Times, this is the interview. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.

At a campaign rally in Georgia late last month, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke to supporters about one of the biggest issues in this election, immigration.

She talked up her record as the former attorney general of a border state and she made a promise

As president I will bring back the border security bill that Donald Trump killed talking about was negotiated.

And I will sign it into law.

And show Donald Trump what real leadership looks like.

That bill she was talking about was negotiated starting late last year by a bipartisan

trio of senators. The Republican in that group was Senator James Langford, a

former Baptist youth minister from Oklahoma.

Lankford clearly has big ambitions in the party.

He's currently running for Senate leadership, and for months he worked on that immigration bill with

Kirsten Cinema, the independent from Arizona, and Chris Murphy, the Democrat from

Connecticut. It was a rare show of bipartisanship and after sign-off from both Senate Party leaders

and an endorsement from the White House, the bill looked like it was going to become law.

It would have been the first major piece of bipartisan legislation on immigration in decades.

But then Donald Trump came out against it, saying he didn't want to give Democrats a political

win on such a sensitive issue during an election

year.

And even though the bill contained most of the hard-lined policies the right had wanted, it became

toxic in the GOP. In the end only four Republican senators voted for it.

The bill tanked and Langford was left holding the bag. I've covered the immigration

system since the beginning of my career, so I really wanted to talk to Langford about his experience working so hard on this bill, only to see it fall apart.
