"Suarez's Presidential Bid: Miami Vice or Unifying Force?"

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has officially joined the 2024 presidential race, citing the need for generational and demographic change in the Republican Party. While he has clashed with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, there is speculation that Suarez's bid is mainly to attack DeSantis and potentially position himself as a Trump running mate or Cabinet official. In an interview, Suarez discussed his policy agenda, including addressing urban issues, confronting China, and acting on climate change. He also defended his promotion of Miami as a "crypto capital" and criticized the Biden administration's handling of the poor and national security.
