Ron DeSantis vows to build the wall stop the invasion in dark video taking a dig at Trump and Biden
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis released a dark video that gives a glimpse of what his border policy would be, should he become president in 2024.
A video posted to Twitter highlights the current border crisis while also taking a swipe at his rivals including former president Trump and Joe Biden.
The visuals are accompanied by intense thriller-like music and serve as strong criticism of President Biden’s immigration’s policy while also subtly referencing former President Donald Trump’s failure to fulfill his pledges.
The 2024 presidential hopeful is upping his rhetoric against Trump in the 2024 primary after months of attacks from the former president, who has claimed DeSantis’ entry into the race is ‘disloyal.’
On Monday, DeSantis is set to unveil his border security policy in Eagle Pass, Texas.

The video goes on to showcase a series of news anchors and reporters discussing the border crisis together with text highlighting statistics including the detention of drug cartel members and terrorists at the border.
One reporter can be heard stating: ‘There’s a growing humanitarian crisis at the southern border.’
Another voice chimes in: ‘What has been happening under President Biden’s watch is that so many immigrants think it will be easier to enter the United States.’
The spot does not refer to former President Trump by name although DeSantis has previously alluded to Trump’s previous immigration promises including the call to construct a border wall of which only a relatively small amount was completed.

DeSantis told New Hampshire voters earlier this month: ‘Leadership is not about entertainment. Leadership is about producing results for the people you represent.
During his remarks he committed to resolving the border issue and resuming constructing of the border wall.
‘We will finally after years and years of discussions and Republicans complaining about it, we will finally be the administration to bring this border issue to a conclusion. We are going to shut the border down, we are going to build the border wall,’ he stated.
DeSantis, 44, who has only been on the campaign trail for less than a month, is attempting to appeal to Republican primary voters by appearing as an energetic and competent leader who can deliver the conservative agenda.

A new poll shows Trump lost a 6% advantage over Ron DeSantis following his indictment
When it comes to recent polling, Trump lost six points in Republican voter polls after his indictment – allowing DeSantis to close the gap between the two front runners for 2024’s presidential GOP candidate.
The former president still holds a commanding 47 percent of support among Republican voters, according to a CNN/SSRS survey released last week.
DeSantis consistently comes in second place, but is 21 percent behind Trump in the most recent polling.
When the same survey was taken in May, Trump was ahead of DeSantis by 27 percent – 53 percent to 26 percent.
The biggest change between May and June polling was that Trump was handed a federal indictment by the Justice Department with 37 counts against him in the case involving his handling of classified documents when leaving office.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans approve of the decision to indict Trump – but a whopping 92 percent of Republicans feel that politics played a role in the charges. Even 63 percent of Democrats say they feel the same.
