Boy, That Gavin Newsom Sure Is a Winner, Huh?
He is going to rue picking a fight with Ron DeSantis.

Even if you aren’t in Florida you probably heard about the ultra-cringey ad’s loathsome Democrat governor Gavin Newsom unloaded onto the Sunshine State airwaves last week…
https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1543610674873438208Ron DeSantis is up for reelection as Florida’s governor in the fall, and the two Democrats attempting to beat him, the old-and-tired Charlie Crist and the new-and-tiresome Nikki Fried, have virtually zero chance of knocking him out. DeSantis is likely to win that race with a number in the high 50s, or maybe larger if things really fall apart for the Dems, and he then becomes a juggernaut in national politics.
That’s not an endorsement of DeSantis as the GOP’s nominee in 2024. It’s just a statement of fact. A Ron DeSantis who has just beaten the tar out of a hapless Democrat in a wave election which establishes formerly-bellwether Florida as one of the nation’s redder states (defined by the Republican’s share of the gubernatorial vote and the makeup of statewide offices, state legislature, and congressional delegation) is a juggernaut in national politics even if he’s not on the 2024 ballot. A Ron DeSantis who takes to the hustings to campaign for a Donald Trump is almost certainly a big asset in places like Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania where it’s imperative to win.
And he’s also the favorite in the clubhouse to become president in 2028 if he doesn’t run.
