I’d like to repeat my point from the DT: it doesn’t matter that Trump is the one that started the ban if Biden keeps pushing for it while Trump reverses his position. This is why the ban is seen as partisan rather than bipartisan, with Democrats seen as pro-ban while the Republicans are seen as anti-ban.
