A few of them are open borders, decriminalize people illegally crossing the border, Warren, Castro, Booker etc

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) told The Washington Post this month he opposes prosecuting people on border-crossing violations, saying the civil system should handle those cases. As of June 17, the paper had identified eight candidates ― not including Warren ― who favored opposing criminal penalties for unauthorized border crossings, though not all of the candidates’ statements aligned with that position. Between June 17 and 21, the Post updated its tracker, including Warren’s position, but did not refer to her support for repealing the laws criminalizing illegal entry or felony reentry.

In the entire history of American presidential elections until now, only 5 women have ever participated in official candidate debates.

There will be 6 onstage tonight & tomorrow.

He named the previous 5 but I'll keep those out for now in case anyone wants to take a stab at naming them. I'd be shocked if anyone can get all 5 - even 4 of 5 is pretty good.
