Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized congressional Republicans for supporting a series of foreign aid bills without ensuring the passing of a border security one, saying they lost all their leverage with Democrats and President Joe Biden by doing so.

"Republicans were sent there and the number one issue that our voters wanted them to address is the southern border and the massive influx of foreigners by the millions coming into this country," DeSantis told reporters.
