Is this a possible or likely outcome if the Repub House kills the border bill?

They get blamed by enough voters. Dems get the House, the Senate and Biden wins (with the help of a good economy). America gets the border bill they want. Lots of people get re-elected.

I doubt it makes much difference. For Trump voters, the only issue is Trump. Chainfire Feb 2024 #1

It may make some difference downhill, but not much.

But I don’t think many/any of their seats are in real jeopardy. Might help Dem seats though.

Presidential election show Trump is Teflon with MAGA base.

One of those issues where people aren’t going to look for truth.
