Miami Mayor Francis Suarez on Why He’s Running for President

Johanna Maska talks to Francis Suarez, the two-term mayor of Miami who formally announced a bid for the 2024 presidential nomination becoming the only Hispanic candidate and only Mayoral candidate running in the crowded Republican field. As one of the younger candidates, Suarez at 45 years old says he offers a fresh face for the party, a libertarian approach to government regulation and an advocate for emerging technologies such as cryptocurrency. Maska asks Mayor Suarez about his solution to our country’s immigration debate, his view on the policies of Florida Governor and presidential candidate Ron DeSantis and the legality of his unusual Venmo fundraising effort to raffle tickets to Lionel Messi’s debut soccer game.
