Gov. DeSantis claims credit for migrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard

podcast September 16, 2022


Background
share close

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis claims credit for sending two planes carrying Venezuelan migrants to Martha’s Vineyard unannounced. The move follows in the footsteps of GOP Governors Abbott and Ducey who began sending migrants to Washington, D.C., New York and Chicago to protest what they believe are Biden’s open border policies. The panel discusses the reaction from the White House, how this could play out for Governor DeSantis, whose state’s population is 26% Latino, and whether Republicans see immigration as a politically winning issue.

Plus, Texas Governor Greg Abbot sends two buses of migrants to Vice President Harris’ residence in Washington, D.C., a New Hampshire GOP Senate nominee does an about-face on false 2020 election claims, the judge in the Mar-a-Lago case appoints a special master, and Sen. Graham thinks “Side-stepping abortion” is not working for the GOP as Republicans distance themselves from his proposed 15-week ban.
