  • All political science research suggests moves like this are never a good idea. From the perspective of the campaign, they think they’re “taking the issue away” but there’s copious research about this specifically with immigration. What you’re actually doing is telling voters the other side had better judgement on this issue and you’ve come around to their wiser view. This both signals to low information voters the other side has a better grasp of the issue than you and dispirits your own side. If you dig into the numbers, this move has never worked for anyone ever. This is typical of the DNC political expert class who are objectively bad at their jobs on a Poli Sci 101 level.
