Kamala Harris to attend inauguration of incoming socialist Honduran president with anti-Semitic ties

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to lead a delegation to Honduras later this week to attend the inauguration of the socialist president-elect who has controversial anti-Semitic ties.

Harris will be attending the inauguration of Honduran President-elect Xiomara Castro on Thursday following Castro's victory to the Central American nation’s highest office after running on a socialist platform.

The vice president has maintained a line of communication with Castro since the Honduran president-elect’s win, taking a call in December to "deepen the partnership between the United States and Honduras," according to Harris spokeswoman Sabrina Singh. The delegation will include U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Administrator Samantha Power and Rep. Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., among others, CNN reported.

Castro is the first leader in the history of Honduras — a rather conservative nation — to be elected on a socialist platform and will also be the first woman to hold the role.
