House Democrat's Ad Touts Taking on Biden Over Border Security

[Social Media]

 

House Democrat Stresses Differences with Biden, Cooperation with GOP in New Ad. In a competitive race for re-election, Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) is emphasizing her policy differences with President Biden and highlighting her bipartisan efforts on border security in a new advertisement. This strategic move comes as vulnerable Democrats across the nation feel the necessity to distinguish their campaigns from the presidential administration amid challenging political climates.

 

Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez’s ad, shared exclusively with Axios, underscores her commitment to "taking on the Biden administration and working with Republicans to secure the Southern border." This approach reflects a time-honored strategy where down-ballot candidates in difficult races distance themselves from the presidential administration to appeal to a broader electorate.

 

 

The advertisement draws attention to a statement released earlier this month by Gluesenkamp Perez and other centrist Democrats. In it, they urge President Biden to extend his executive order aimed at reducing illegal border crossings. Additionally, the ad references a $66 billion foreign aid and border policy bill proposed in February by a bipartisan group of centrists, including Gluesenkamp Perez. This proposal served as an alternative to a standalone foreign aid bill that was ultimately passed.

 

The ad campaign, which is set to begin airing on Monday, involves a significant investment of $500,000.  Earlier this year, Democrats aimed to bolster their stance on border security by pushing for a bipartisan bill supported by Biden. However, this effort was thwarted by Republicans, spurred on by former President Trump. A spokesperson for Biden's campaign remarked, "The American people want solutions on the border, Donald Trump only wants chaos. He and his MAGA allies in Congress proudly killed the strongest bipartisan border bill in a generation—siding with fentanyl traffickers over the border patrol and the American people."

 

Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez, who secured a surprising victory over hard-right opponent Joe Kent in 2022, now faces a tougher re-election battle. Her district, which Trump won by 4 percentage points in 2020, presents a formidable challenge with Trump back on the ballot. Furthermore, establishment-aligned Republican Leslie Lewallen is running to prevent Kent from once again becoming the GOP candidate.

 

Concerns are growing among Democrats over Biden’s low approval ratings, fearing it might negatively impact the party’s candidates even in swing districts within blue states. This recent ad follows a broader trend where vulnerable House Democrats are distancing themselves from President Biden on various issues, including border policy, Israel, and electric vehicles. Rep. Colin Allred (D-Texas), in his Senate campaign, is running ads asserting he "stood up to Joe Biden on the border." Similarly, Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), seeking re-election in a state that Trump won in 2020 and is likely to win again, has emphasized his disagreements with Biden on border issues and other policies.

Many Americans who are strong supporters of the Democratic party are, however, less than happy with Biden's handling of the southern border issues

Funny you should say that. It turns out that thousands of people get emotional when a single illegal kills a mother of five i; that community.

"I think that they're definitely going to vote for Donald Trump, because we can't afford to keep subsidizing the illegals who are coming here. … People are proudly stating that they're going to vote for the first time in their lives, and they're going to run to the polls to vote for Donald John Trump," she added.

biden called for a purge to the border .

biden team of authorities cut razor wire and sued

Texas ,to stop them from barricading

weak spots in the fencing to facilitate 

this crisis! Over 3 years he facilitated 7 million unvetted illegal border crossings .the senator that was one of the sponsors of the bill complained after ,that the illegals still would be seriously unvetted and that the WH is fudging the numbers.

Trump was right when he said they aren’t sending their best!

2 illegals were charged with rape and murdered

Of a 12 year old in Tx. They are facing capital punishment.

 

 

 

Border Patrol sources say that most of the migrants are still being given court dates and released into the US — despite the Biden Administration’s claim that the new measure would stem the flow of illegal immigrants into border towns and major cities.
