by the massive influx of migrants anticipating the end of the health policy, Texas Gov.

Raddatz pushed back on the “open border” claims raised by some Republicans, saying she’s never heard President Biden say there was an open border but she has heard Abbott, Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis repeat it.
