Stuart Varney: Biden is keeping his border wall campaign promise
Varney & Co. host Stuart Varney reacted to the Biden administration reportedly selling off former President Trumps border wall.
During his "My Take," Tuesday, "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed the Biden administration's plan to sell off materials purchased for Trump's border wall, arguing the president made a campaign promise to "open the floodgates" at the southern border, and that he is delivering on that pledge.
STUART VARNEY: If there's one campaign promise that Joe Biden will keep it is ending the border wall.
As he said many times, "stop the construction and don't build another foot."

The Trump administration appropriated $15 billion for construction.
450 miles of the wall were built, and a lot of construction material was gathered at the border, ready to go.
