Republicans are pouncing on the Biden administration’s recent decision to scrap a Trump-era pandemic border policy, launching a multi-pronged attack against Democrats in Congress, in the courts and on the campaign trail
from moving forward until they’re guaranteed a vote on an amendment that would reinstate Title 42 — a move Democrats leaders are keen to avoid as it would highlight divisions in their caucus over the issue. Amid the stalemate, the chamber“I’m sure [Democrats] don’t want to vote on it because it may make a difference on whether they’re a senator or not in the future,” said Sen.Sen.
“The lack of policy details is causing big political challenges for our party,” said John LaBombard, a political strategist at ROKK Solutions and recent senior staffer to Sen.. “The administration has a real opportunity to ensure that when Title 42 is lifted there is a plan in place that’s more than lip service. … The fact that we’re seeing a growing chorus of border state Democrats and Republicans speaking up more and more forcefully tells me such a plan is not currently in place.
The announcement coincided with the Biden administration’s plea to Congress for billions more to bolster Covid-19 testing, vaccine supplies and therapeutics, as well as their warnings that the highly transmissible Omicron subvariant BA.2 is spreading fast within the U.S. — a mixed message Republicans were quick to highlight.
