Joe Biden's a little late to the border. Over 10 million people have crossed illegally since he became President and now he’s interested. This is no more than a political stunt and an insult to Texas and the rest of America. What does he say to the families of the young ladies…

I’m proud to endorse this diverse and hopeful collection of thoughtful, empathetic, and highly qualified Democrats. If you’re in one of their districts or states, make sure you vote for them this fall. And if you can, vote early—by mail or in person.
