Newsom's Weird Obsession with DeSantis Grows –

  HotAir  

California residents are leaving the state in record numbers. Not all are going to Florida but a lot of them are. Others are going to Texas or Montana or other red states. They are voting with their feet against Newsom and the agenda of the California progressives. It is, in fact, a red state vs blue state debate. Both men are articulate and able to speak about policy below the surface. I don’t like what Newsom says but he is a smooth talker and doesn’t hesitate to chime in. DeSantis is a policy wonk, which I enjoy. It should be a good event.

"It’s on like Donkey Kong. Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) are scheduled to debate at the end of the month. It’s being called a “Red vs Blue State Debate.”

"This event came about due to Newsom’s obsession with DeSantis. Newsom’s jealousy of DeSantis has brought about a debate for which many people question its necessity. Why would DeSantis waste time debating a progressive Democrat now? It seems like a distraction. Hannity took advantage of Newsom’s focus on DeSantis and asked if he would consider a debate with Hannity as moderator on Fox. Newsom is one of the few progressives who will come on FNC. He was eager to say yes and did so. Hannity asked the same question of DeSantis and he agreed, too. I assume this debate gets around the RNC rule against unsanctioned debates since Newsom is a Democrat and allegedly not running for president.

"We all know that Newsom is running a shadow campaign for president. Democrats admit it. Biden even attempted to joke about Newsom’s presidential ambitions when he was last in California with him. Newsom is clearly waiting in the wings, ready to jump in if Biden decides to retire. It isn’t going to happen, though, because Joe Biden is too stubborn and his ego is too large for him to abandon the race for a second term in the White House. And, Barack Obama would like a fourth term. All of this serves to increase Newsom’s national profile that he will be able to use in 2028. The same may be said of DeSantis if Trump is the Republican nominee in 2024." . . .
