DeSantis slams Biden proposal to impose travel restrictions on Florida
“We won’t allow Floridians to be unfairly targeted for political purposes.”
Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis vowed he will “act swiftly” if the Biden administration imposes a travel restriction on his state, which is open for business while maintaining relatively low COVID-19 infection and hospitalization rates.
“The recent report that the Biden administration is considering restricting the travel of Floridians is completely absurd, especially when Biden allows illegal aliens to pour across our southern border,” he said.
“We won’t allow Floridians to be unfairly targeted for political purposes.”
The Miami Herald reported Wednesday the Biden administration is considering whether to impose domestic travel restrictions, including on Florida, “fearful that coronavirus mutations are threatening to reverse hard-fought progress on the pandemic.”
