McConnell responded, “Huge, even before this ridiculous Title 42 decision, making the border situation even more disastrous than it already is. One of the things the previous administration did well is it got control of the border. The president promised to come in and change everything. He did. We have open borders now, almost. So, it will be a huge issue in the fall election.
Earlier, McConnell pointed to the multiple Democrats in the Senate like Sens. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), Jon Tester (D-MT), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH), who broke with the Biden administration on the issue and joined in with criticism from Republicans of the Biden administration’s plan to rescind Title 42 in May.
