President Joe Biden attacked Govs. Greg Abbott (R-TX) and Ron DeSantis (R-FL) for their ongoing busing of immigrants to cities on the East Coast.
The president’s comments came during remarks at the 45th Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute Gala in Washington, hours after two busloads of immigrants arrived at the Naval Observatory in Washington, courtesy of Abbott.
WHITE HOUSE ASKS FOR GOP HELP IN ‘CALLING OUT’ ABBOTT AND DESANTIS MIGRANT ‘STUNT’

The president additionally stated that the Republican stance on immigration is another reason “why we have to win this off-year election.”
