Excited to share this @WSJ project: I went home to Miami to see how the Hispanic voters who helped propel Trump to victory are feeling ahead of the midterms. What I found? Deep frustration, esp. over immigration—and it could keep some who backed him home. wsj.com/politics/elections/i…

In his opening remarks in this @BrianLehrer forum on #NY13, @RepEspaillat touts his bio as first undocumented immigrant in Congress and his work on local issues like Kingsbridge Armory. @DarializaforNY hits him for his legislative record that she deems insufficiently progressive.
