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.  

On this episode, she tells Deep Dive host and Playbook co-author Ryan Lizza:

  • 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.
