Florida Governor calls Midterm rout 'close to extinction-level event', says Republicans failed to 'shut off H-1B visas'
Washington, Nov 5 (IANS) Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has faulted Senate Republicans for failing to curb the H-1B visa programme, the main route by which Indian technology professionals work in the United States, as he blamed the party's midterm losses partly on its own voters staying home.
Outgoing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the Republican Party faced a severe setback after the 2026 midterm elections. WEAR reported that he warned the party was in a deep national hole, while Global News said he predicted the Democratic gains could hurt Republicans for years. Fox News reported that DeSantis pointed to Florida as a bright spot and signaled a possible 2028 presidential run; other reports focused on his criticism of the party’s losses without describing a campaign announcement.
