Ron DeSantis, on fighting drug cartels, says he’ll be ‘new sheriff in town’ after 2024 election |...

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was asked during the televised town hall portion of his “Conversation with the Candidate” event about how he’d tackle the immigration crisis. The Republican said he’d ensure that a wall along the southern border would be built, but he’d go further than that, promising the use of “deadly force” against drug cartels and a new task force to handle maritime operations to combat drug smuggling. “Buckle up. There’s a new sheriff in town on Jan. 20, 2025,” he added.
Conversation with the Candidate is a town hall-style program recorded in advance of when it airs. It is intended to allow the candidate to convey their points of view on a wide range of topics. During the program, the moderator may challenge the candidates' assertions, but every fact may not be checked in real time. WMUR News 9 is committed to holding the candidates accountable on their claims throughout the election cycle.
