Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX), a border state leader who has unleashed an unprecedented effort to reinforce security at the Mexico boundary amid the Biden-era border crisis, said he sees “hope on the horizon” with the potential election of former President Donald Trump.

“I see hope on the horizon because on Nov. 5, Joe Biden will be fired and Donald Trump will once again become the president of the United States of America,” Abbott said during remarks at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday evening in Milwaukee.
