Vulnerable Senate Democrats undercut Biden on Title 42

[AZProgressive]

Moderate Democrats are undercutting the Biden administration’s months of careful messaging on Title 42 that cast its retention of the Trump-era policy as a public health necessity rather than a border management tool.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Friday it would on May 23 rescind the order that blocks migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S. as the country learns to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

But rather than view it as a public health victory, some moderate Democrats see a huge political liability, leaving them furious that the White House ended policy ahead of a tough midterm election.

In the days since the decision, Democratic Senate moderates have warned of chaos at the border, echoing talking points previously pushed largely by the GOP.

2. I wonder what

Sen. Sinema and Sen. Kelly think. Sen. Kelly is running ads now where he states "Arizona values".

3. They released a joint letter supporting its continuation

Sinema cosponsored legislation to retain it. I can't remember if Kelly joined that.

letter. It's Kelly's seat that is up this year.
