Ed Luce: Biden Has Left a ‘Pretty Good’ Situation to Trump on Immigration, Energy, Crime

EXCERPT:

LUCE: “I think back to the 2019/2020 Democratic primaries and that sort of competitive amongst the candidate -- the candidates for the Democratic nomination, competing to see who could scream open border more loudly than others. Beto O'Rourke, people like that. And Biden -- you know, Biden was on that stage. He was actually the moderate on that stage and wasn't calling for -- for -- for open borders. But it -- it captured the spirit of a party that I don't think had just lost all touch with American public opinion, with the median voter on that issue. And yes, during the early Biden years, partly because the pandemic ended, there was a surge of immigration. There were also changes to regulations that -- that made it easier for them to come through with or without a pandemic. But that ended. By the end of the Biden term we've had illegal immigration drop very, very sharply. It's a really eccentric moment --“
SCARBOROUGH: “Precipitously. Yeah.”
LUCE: “-- for -- for President Trump to be declaring a national emergency. I think he's devaluing the word emergency. He's talking about an energy emergency, a crime emergency, a border emergency. On all these issues, Biden's left him a pretty good situation.”
