This is still the strictly Republican bill that Biden was going to pass but was killed at the direction of Trump to his cult followers in Congress.
This bill may come to pass as is or may not when a bunch of Democrats get in who demand no wall... but this is the perfect carrot to dangle for disenfranchised Republicans at least up to voting day.
It spawns propaganda videos exactly like the one OP posted, stretching the link of "funding the border wall" to one minor aspect of extending the expiry of money Congress under Trump appropriated.
For better or for worse, to some extent Harris has a degree of separation from Biden, she's just playing the hand that Biden was dealt, and it's Democrats' prerogative to push back against that low-information narrative suggested.
