Vulnerable Dem senator touts border wall in new ad despite previously dismissing it: 'Waste of money'
Fox News
A Democratic senator is facing criticism for featuring images of the border wall in an ad despite a past record of voting against wall construction.
The move is similar to moves by the Harris campaign, which has also shown images of the border wall in its ads despite shutting down most wall construction. Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

But the vulnerable Democratic senator has a history of mostly opposition rather than support for the wall. In 2019, he said "building a wall is a waste of money" and that the U.S. should be "investing in border infrastructure and security technology at ports of entry, where most illegal smuggling happens."
