I think the president is walking not only one fine line but two fine lines. One is domestic politics. He wants to be tough about the borders but he also wants to be compassionate, especially toward the Latino community and show that he cares about, you know, people who really have a desperate plight.
Gergen comments on the political balancing act the president faces regarding immigration policy.

I think a lot of Americans do see it as disqualifying. And they're worried about it.
I think this the very idea that in 2024, we may have two men running against each other Biden and Trump, who would both be in their 80s if elected, that it too is enough to say, well, what are we doing here?
I don't think Trump is out of the woods, even though his poll numbers are not only staying up, they have actually been strengthened some.
The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
