NewsNation’s Chris Stirewalt said former President Donald Trump owes a “big wet kiss” to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) if he ends up winning the presidential election.
During election night coverage for NewsNation, Stirewalt argued results have shown that the southern border and migrant-related issues negatively impacted Democrats. Chris Cuomo noted Vice President Kamala Harris has the worst performance of any Democrat since 1988. Harris still won the race with her pulling 55.7% of the vote to Trump’s 44.3%, according to AP results.
“What is the message from the results in New York City if the progressive agenda was something seen as desirable with her getting the lowest number we’ve seen since 1988?” he asked Stirewalt.
Stirewalt argued there are a “million things” behind that number, but it’s likely mostly to due with Abbott spreading the “pain” of the migrant crisis by busing thousands of illegal immigrants to blue cities like New York and Chicago. Abbott long said the move was in response to what he feels is a lackluster federal response to the southern border. Abbott began busing migrants in 2023.
“Donald Trump, if he does win this election, should send a big wet kiss over to Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas,” Stirewalt said, “who innovated the idea of dumping migrants into New York City and Chicago and big cities all over the country, and he made it a problem for those other people. Instead of it being localized in Texas, he made sure to spread the pain around.”
