Chris Murphy Urges Democrats to Go On Offense on Border

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) urged Democrats to go on offense on the border and immigration in a memo to party members, citing Tom Suozzi’s victory in the special election for former Rep. George Santos’ seat on Long Island, NBC News reports.

Said Murphy: “Suozzi messaged aggressively on the issue, running ads that highlighted his support for a secure border and legal pathways to citizenship. He flipped the script on his Republican opponent, successfully painting her as unserious about border security because of her opposition to the bipartisan border bill, and turned what could have been a devastating political liability into an advantage.”
