Biden faces more criticism about the US-Mexico border, one of his biggest problems heading into 2024

MIAMI (AP) — The ad sounds like something out of the GOP 2024 playbook, trumpeting a senator’s work with Republicans to crack down on the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs into the U.S., getting tough on Chinese interests helping smugglers, and noting how he “wrote a bill signed by Donald Trump to increase funding for Border Patrol.”

It’s actually a commercial for Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat facing a tough reelection fight that will help decide control of the Senate.

“Ohioans trust Sherrod Brown to keep us safe,” says the narrator of the ad, sponsored by the Democrat-aligned Duty and Country PAC. His campaign declined to comment.

The message is one more indication of the political and security challenges the U.S.-Mexico border has presented for President Joe Biden. Some Democrats across the country are distancing themselves from the White House, and polls indicate widespread frustration with Biden’s handling of immigration and the border, creating a major liability for the president’s re-election next year.

His reelection campaign pointed to Trump’s record at the border, including his administration’s practice of separating immigrant families as a deterrence measure and the temporary detention of children in warehouses in chain-link cells.

“MAGA Republicans are running on the legacy of Donald Trump’s playbook of family separation, caging kids, and shouting ‘border!’ without any serious solutions,” said Kevin Munoz, a spokesman for Biden’s reelection campaign, referring to supporters of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” movement.

“Ohioans trust Sherrod Brown to keep us safe,” BULLSH!T.

I wouldn’t trust Sherrod Brown to pick up after my 70lb Lab. All the brain dead Democrat plantation retards in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati keep this POS in office.

Wait...I thought the border was secure. Biden and his spokesholes assured us of that just recently.
Down the memory hole. Orwellian.

“What issue is Biden not in trouble with?”

His polling numbers will set records by the end of the month.

I’m wondering when the bluehairs of the Dem party will be walking up to the WH to pay a visit.

His failure at the border won’t matter if he’s not running. He won’t be

Trump has clearly expressed the solution: close the border and deport illegals in a way not seen since Eisenhower’s Operation Wetback.

noting how he “wrote a bill signed by Donald Trump to increase funding for Border Patrol.”

This rather suggests that Trump starts out at a considerable advantage over Democrats in general--if they are tempted to borrow his identity in order to survive.

The DNC will remove Biden as the candidate though I pray he is. Newsoms record in California is a no go. Hillary wants it but is not acceptable to the public. Hello Michele Obama, or a dark horse candidate that we do not know yet.

I haven’t seen an indication of how the Dems believe switching on the border is a win.

The Latinos and AOC Squad types will see the woke constituency as being dissed. Divisive.

The longtime Wall supporters were on Trump’s side and won’t suddenly rush to kiss and hug Biden (a sick thought). Not vote bait.

Do the Dems think the forgotten normal Americans who are distressed at illegals using their front lawns as toilets and doing home invasions to raise cash are now going say “finally that hero Biden is taking charge”?
