President Biden is squaring off against former President Donald Trump on Thursday on one of the issues expected to dominate the 2024 presidential election: immigration.
Both Biden and Trump are visiting Texas border communities that have been grappling with large numbers of migrants seeking asylum. Biden will head to Brownsville, and Trump to Eagle Pass.
It’s only the second time during his presidency that Biden has been to the border. The trip comes as Biden goes on the offensive, trying to turn the tables on an issue that has been a liability for him.
Only 29% of respondents in a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll said they approve of the way Biden is handling immigration.
