‘Legacy of incompetence’: Comer unveils wide-ranging hearing on Biden-Harris ‘failed record’

The House Oversight Committee is planning a hearing next week broadly targeting Biden-Harris administration policies and their effect on Americans, Fox News Digital has learned.

Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., is scheduling the hearing – titled, ‘A Legacy of Incompetence: Consequences of the Biden-Harris Administration’s Policy Failures’ – for Thursday, Sept. 19, at 10 a.m. ET.

Comer accused President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of causing ‘skyrocketing inflation, the worst border crisis in American history, high energy prices, chaos around the world, and rampant waste, fraud, abuse, and mismanagement at federal agencies,’ in a statement to Fox News Digital on Thursday.

‘Simply put, everything President Biden and Vice President Harris touches fails,’ Comer said. 

‘Next week’s hearing will examine the Biden-Harris Administration’s failed record and what can be done to reverse the damage this Administration has caused.’

It comes as House Republicans ramp up their scrutiny of Harris in the weeks since she became the Democrats’ 2024 presidential nominee, replacing Biden after he dropped out of the race.

Republicans have also seized on Harris’ own past efforts to position herself as integral to the White House’s most critical decisions. Former President Trump and his GOP allies argue that a Harris administration would be an extension of Biden and his progressive policies.

The House has also held multiple hearings on Harris’ handling of the border crisis in particular, and her role as the Biden administration’s ‘border czar’ in charge of tackling the root causes of mass migration from Central and South America. 

Comer has also led efforts to scrutinize the ties that Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has with China.

Next week’s House Oversight Committee hearing will include testimony from Federal Communications Commission (FCC) member Brendan Carr, Center for Immigration Studies Executive Director Mark Krikorian, Meaghan Mobbs of the Independent Women’s Forum, and former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official Mandy Gunasekera.
