Republican Congressman Jeff Denham Pushes For DACA Solution As He Faces Tough Re-Election
b'
Republican Congressman Jeff Denham has become increasingly vulnerable in recent election cycles, as his district has grown more Democratic. But he\\u2019s been able to win over his constituents, even as they\\u2019ve voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
\\nFacing possibly his toughest challenge yet, Denham has been pushing Congress to pass immigration legislation\\xa0that would include a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and billions of dollars in funding for the border wall. One bill that Denham was supporting was voted down this week, but he is continuing to call for a bipartisan immigration solution.
\\nDenham has been able to walk a fine line and win over moderate voters in previous election cycles, but will his stance on immigration help or hurt him this time around?
\\nKeys To The House host Ben Bradford discusses Denham\\u2019s race with McClatchy\\u2019s national political correspondent Alex Roarty and KQED\\u2019s state politics reporter Katie Orr.
