House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said President Donald Trump will receive "credit" for improved border security. He made the statement in a CNN interview on Wednesday.
Jeffries, the House Minority Leader, noted that the long-standing crisis at the U.S. southern border now appears resolved. He directly linked this change to Trump's administration.
The comment highlights a significant political shift. Democrats have historically criticized Trump's border policies.
Jeffries did not detail specific security measures. His statement simply recognized the current state of the border under the President's watch.
