Washington Post:
Shutdown could hurt Democrats seeking reelection in Trump statesCasey's opponent is right. Democrats deserve to lose for attempting extortion to get their bad immigration policy passed. It looks like a scheme to import Democrat voters to pump up their shrinking base.
Some Democrats concede that the stalemate — if it is seen as a fight over immigration — holds risks for vulnerable senators, even if they voted to keep the government open. Sen. Robert Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania faces a likely GOP opponent who claimed that the Democrat “put illegal immigrants over health insurance for our kids.”
