Fla. Gov. Ron DeSantis takes goal at Biden, Trump over border disaster

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is pledging to “build the wall” and cease the regular circulation of migrants throughout the southern border in a twin swipe at President Biden and his chief GOP rival, former President Donald Trump.

Mr. DeSantis, a 2024 presidential candidate who will define an immigration plan Monday, launched a dramatic Twitter video saying Mr. Biden is chargeable for the border disaster.

The video exhibits the huge inflow of migrants and talks concerning the horrors of fentanyl, a lethal artificial opioid that’s pouring in from Mexico.

“We will secure the border. We will stop the cartels. We will build the wall. We will stop the invasion. NO EXCUSES. @RonDeSantis will get it done,” the DeSantis War Room tweeted.

Mr. DeSantis plans to fulfill with voters and residents in border communities round Eagle Pass, Texas, on Monday.

The go to is a part of a broader pivot for Mr. DeSantis, who’s attempting to catch Mr. Trump in early major polls.

“During the first month of his campaign, Ron DeSantis has focused on highlighting how his success in Florida proves that the nation’s current state of decline is a choice and that America can do better,” DeSantis marketing campaign spokesman Andrew Romeo stated in an e mail to reporters. Mr. DeSantis “will begin to take more direct aim at Joe Biden’s failures and will start laying out a forward-looking vision full of solutions.”

The governor can be taking sharper goal at Mr. Trump. The DeSantis staff panned Mr. Trump for pledging final week to concern an govt order that might finish birthright citizenship.

“Trump made this same promise in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. He had 4 years as president. But he didn’t actually do it,” the DeSantis staff tweeted.
