Congresswoman Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) discusses the unique role she plays as one of President Joe Biden’s campaign co-chairs who is also opposed to some of the key policies he is pursuing on immigration and in the Middle East.

  • Her views on Biden’s border policies and the senate bill 
  • Her own ideas of what a winning immigration policy looks like 
  • Her concerns about Biden’s policies in the Middle East — and what she fears is the potential political fallout for his re-election
  • What might be on the agenda at the next secret meeting of Biden’s campaign co-chairs
  • Whether she’d rather Biden run against Nikki Haley or Donald Trump
  • Ryan Lizza is a Playbook co-author for POLITICO.
