- Jeh Johnson said that a failure to effectively tackle the migrant crisis would boost Trump in 2024.

Former Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson on Monday said that the Biden administration needed to treat the ongoing migrant crisis as an "all hands on deck" situation, warning that a failure to do so could strengthen former President Donald Trump's electoral chances as he looks to retake the White House in 2024.
During a conversation on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Johnson praised the administration's decision to afford temporary protected status to Venezuelans who had already entered the United States.
