Brian Kilmeade explains why Democrats will make a deal with Trump — and what under-the-radar Republicans could run in 2028

Résumé détaillé

Kilmeade noted that Trump’s sweeping executive actions to secure the US-Mexico border could be undone if a Democrat takes the White House.

Democrats, weary of the political beating they’ve taken over border security, will come to President Trump looking to make a deal on immigration reform, longtime “Fox & Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade argued on “Pod Force One,” where he also floated several under-the-radar Republicans who could run in 2028.

Kilmeade noted that Trump’s sweeping executive actions to secure the US-Mexico border could be undone if a Democrat takes the White House, which puts pressure on the president as well to broker an agreement.

“We’re all gonna get whiplash, and it’s not good for anybody,” the Fox News personality told “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine.

“So I really do think the president’s under pressure to … do a deal,” Kilmeade argued.

“I think the Democrats don’t want to deal with the border anymore,” he continued. “They know it’s a loser for them … I think they’re going to tell the president, ‘You got the border. We’re going to need something for people here.’”

Kilmeade believes some sort of legal status for migrants who entered the country as children and migrants who have been in the US for an extended period of time and haven’t committed a crime may receive bipartisan support in the Democrat-controlled Congress next year.

“There’s things that can be worked out where Republicans gonna have to bite their lip and Democrats gonna have to bite their lip,” he added, referring to the concessions both sides will have to make as part of an immigration reform deal.

The Fox News host suggested mandatory voter ID laws for Americans and “no citizenship” for illegal migrants may be something Democrats may have to give up as part of their dealings with Republicans and Trump.

“But the Democrats want it away,” Kilmeade continued. “They don’t wanna talk about it because it’s almost like, for them, it’s almost like men and women’s sports: They can’t win. So they want that issue to go away.”
