The Presidents Come to the Texas Border

February 28, 2024

National and state politics converge this week with the simultaneous visits of President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump to the Texas-Mexico border on Thursday. Trump will appear in Eagle Pass, the site of ongoing tension between state and federal law enforcement agencies deployed to manage the increased flow of migrants into the U.S., while Biden will visit Brownsville.

The visits come as Biden continues to seek ways to reduce his vulnerability on border and immigration issues amidst the ongoing problems on the border, and as Trump presses his advantage, and his attacks on Biden and Democrats, on his signature issue. While the current and former presidents maneuver in Texas, the demands of Republican officials over federal border enforcement policies continue to be one of the central obstacles in the stalled federal budget process casting the shadow of a looming shutdown. (After meetings at the White House Tuesday on breaking the impasse on the budget and on foreign aid spending, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson reiterated to reporters that “the first priority of the country is our border and making sure it's secure.")

In the 2020 presidential election, Trump defeated Biden in Texas by about 630,000 votes, with 52.06% of the vote to Biden’s 46.48%. This was a smaller victory margin than 2016, when Trump won Texas’ electoral votes by defeating Hillary Clinton by just under 9 percentage points, (52.23% to 43.24%, about 806,000 votes). In a head-to-head trial ballot in the latest UT/Texas Politics Project Poll, Trump led Biden by 7 points, 48% to 41%. (Trump led by 9 points in a multicandidate trial ballot.)
