It’s even more real when you have an open border that almost eight million people have come across. Do you not think our enemies are exploring that border?” DeSantis added. The event was Sin City breakfast event was sponsored by Never Back Down, a SuperPAC supporting DeSantis presidential campaign.

I have said we will bring in zero from the Gaza Strip to the United States,” DeSantis added.

The Florida Gov. also expressed, “They elected Hamas in Gaza. A lot of them were cheering in the streets when the attacks happened. They weren’t Hamas members; they were just normal people, and I remember from 9/11 in 2001, Palestinian Arabs cheering when the twin towers were brought down. That was the worst terrorist attack we ever had, and they were out celebrating.”
As the 2024 GOP presidential primary neared the November election, DeSantis found himself falling behind the former President, Donald Trump, who maintained a significant lead in the polls. Trump consistently enjoyed a double-digit advantage over the Florida governor.
