Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has urged US Latino voters not to support Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who launched his bid to oust President Joe Biden with a promise to “shut down” the border.
“I hope Florida’s Hispanics wake up and don’t give him [DeSantis] even one vote,” Lopez Obrador said at his daily news conference on Thursday.
“I also take this opportunity to tell Mr DeSantis, who yesterday, as you can see, I wasn’t wrong that all his politicking over migrants was because he wanted to be the Republican Party’s candidate,“ he added.
DeSantis announced his candidacy on Wednesday at a live Twitter event.
