Francis Suarez in The Associated Press


On Abortion: Supports a 15-week federal abortion ban, not yet for 6-week

Suarez drew some distinctions between himself and his rivals suggesting that the six-week abortion ban signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is too severe and showing an openness to changing the country's immigration system. In an interview with The Associated Press, Suarez expressed support for a 15-week federal abortion ban, saying the country "is not there yet" on six weeks.

On Immigration: Connect immigration to employment, declining birth rate

He said his status as the only Hispanic candidate in the GOP race gives him "a lot of credibility" in a conversation about reforming immigration laws, though he was vague about what he'd propose. "I do think that we need to right-size legal immigration and that it should be connected to our employment rate and our declining birth rate," said Suarez, who has Cuban ancestry. "And I do think we have to do something with those who are undocumented in our country."
