EXCERPT:
CHALIAN: "And this is after, though, Tom Suozzi, was advertising with him on Fox News talking about his full defense of ICE, right? So, not every Democrat runs on the immigration issue the way Tom Suozzi did in this district. It worked for him there. There does seem to be a bit of a divide inside the Democratic Party about how to grapple with this immigration issue. But you're right, it is going to be a front-and-center issue. We normally think of it, I think in the past, John, that it's just an issue for the right-wing echo chamber, but the whole movement that Greg Abbott did and what have you to bring the migrant issue and crisis to cities, to blue states and cities, that has changed the calculus here. You see this issue rising in importance for all voters."
