Mexican President Urges Hispanic Voters to Reject Ron DeSantis in 2024 Bid
- Mexican President López Obrador accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of anti-immigrant policies and urged Hispanic voters not to support his potential 2024 presidential campaign.
- López Obrador said Hispanic voters in Florida should not give DeSantis "a single vote" and accused him of "playing politics with migrants."
- DeSantis launched his 2024 presidential campaign this week, promising to complete a border wall with Mexico and limit benefits for immigrants without legal status.
- López Obrador previously criticized a Florida anti-immigration bill and threatened an "information campaign" against Republicans, urging Hispanic voters not to support them.
- DeSantis won 58% of Florida's Latino vote in his 2022 re-election, but López Obrador hopes to sway Hispanic voters nationwide against his presidential ambitions.
