DeSantis and Trump Clash on Immigration and Wall Street Cash

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is touting his record on immigration and positioning himself as the true conservative on the issue, distinguishing himself from his top GOP rival, former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has sent over 1,100 state law enforcement agents and National Guard members to Texas’ border with Mexico, signaling a willingness to run to Trump’s right on a subject long considered to be one of Trump’s core political messages. While the rightward shift on immigration may appeal to GOP primary voters, it will likely prove a tough sell to independents and moderate Democrats in a general election.
