WATCH LIVE: Biden gives remarks during second visit to southern border

President Biden is slated to visit the border in Brownsville, Texas, Thursday, as part of an effort to go on offense against former President Trump, and to turn a political liability into a line of attack against Republicans.

The Biden campaign has signaled Trump’s hand in getting Republicans to kill a bipartisan proposal to bolster resources at the southern border as a major messaging gift for them.

They’re seeking to blame Trump for the lack of action at the border, while tying the former president and his party to Washington’s dysfunction.

Trump, who will also be in Texas on Thursday for his own border visit, is almost certain to blame Biden for the surge of migrants into the United States and tie the death of Georgia student Laken Riley directly to the White House's policies.

The remarks are scheduled for 4:30 p.m. EST.
