U.S. State Department Struggles With Passport Processing Backlog

Many Americans are getting ready for their vacation and some are scrambling to get their passport in time.

The U.S. Department of State is still digging out from a processing backlog that started during the pandemic.

Senator James Lankford said his office had to assign three full time staff members to passport duty.  

Lankford is proposing new legislation he said would help tackle the backlog.
