Republican candidate @maziforcongress criticizes Democrat Tom Suozzi for policies such as opening the southern border, supporting defunding the police, and raising taxes. Suozzi counters GOP ads by favoring a bipartisan border deal and accuses Republicans of obstructing border security aid, a strategy that helped him win the election. Democrats, including Suozzi, are urged to take a proactive stance on border security while emphasizing legal immigration and a secure border.
Important - like Suozzi, Democrats should not back down from our belief in legal immigration or a pathway to citizenship. But we should LEAD with a commitment to a secure border and Republicans’ opposition to the bipartisan border bill. https://t.co/C6kxoDbhXp
NY-3 tests question of whether a Dem candidate can effectively communicate that House R’s blocked border security aid. Tom Suozzi did just that. This House GOP conference deserves to lose with a few exceptions. https://t.co/9PqqXk00pa
Top Dem polling expert noting the impact of the Republicans' decision to kill the bipartisan border bill. Suozzi ran on it and blunted the impact of an issue that is normally a liability for Democrats. https://t.co/VN4RTbWHdW
Like Suozzi, Democrats can and should go on the offense on the border. Everywhere. Republicans' idiotic decision to kill the bipartisan border bill is a huge opening. Suozzi saw it, and he flipped a seat. https://t.co/vfsOKw5Bsk
Worth noting that Suozzi bashed Republicans for killing the border deal in the home stretch of the race, which also suggests it's good politics for Dems to be associated with wanting to make a deal (its specifics aside) and bad for Rs to be associated with killing it for Trump. https://t.co/VryDahCfF3
One big thing I'm watching in NY03: It's a test of Democrats' new strategy of offense on border security. GOP ads are pounding Suozzi on this issue; he's countering that he favors the bipartisan deal to toughen border laws while Pilip & Trump oppose it to use chaos as a weapon. https://t.co/qGpWVbLt5q
.@maziforcongress calls out Democrat Tom Suozzi: ”He is trying to run away from his record…the fact that he opened the southern border, the fact that he was supporting defunding-the-police movement, the fact that he was increasing taxes.” #NY03 https://t.co/ah8VprNaM3
