While speaking on “Tucker Carlson Today,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis listed off his top agenda items if he were president. Unlike President Biden, if DeSantis were president he would prioritize securing the border. The Florida Republican noted Trump’s much-needed improvements at the border during his term but said if he were commander-in-chief he would take it a step further.

According to Townhall:

“I would secure the border, first of all,” he replied. “This is created because of what Biden did.”

“We banned sanctuary cities in Florida when I became governor, we did E-Verify for the first time ever, fought the business lobby to do that,” the governor told Carlson. “I would fight for those policies on the federal level as well, because we’ve got to get this immigration situation under control.”

He also pointed to the problems of bureaucracy, which he said “we’ve allowed to fester for years and years.”

“I think it’s at the point now where even if a Republican wins the election the other party still maintains control of the apparatus of the executive branch and that can’t be the way this goes—you go in, you have the ability to implement the agenda.”

DeSantis is seen as a top presidential contender, especially if Trump decides not to run for president in 2024. The Florida governor also noted that he views the controversial Democrat-led push to make D.C. the 51st state as unconstitutional.
