The Washington Examiner’s Byron York contended that several lawmakers had reason to not show up at President Joe Biden’s announcement of using executive action in an effort to address the border crisis.

On Tuesday, Biden issued an executive order banning immigrants from seeking asylum at the southern border. Democratic lawmakers considered to be vulnerable ahead of their elections, including Sens. Jon Tester (D-MT), Bob Casey (D-PA), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), were absent from Biden’s announcement.
