Gov. Gavin Newsom is running for reelection in California, but his latest television ad is airing in Florida.
"Freedom, it's under attack in your state. Republican leaders, they're banning books, making it harder to vote, restricting speech in classrooms, even criminalizing women and doctors," Newsom says while images of DeSantis and former President Donald Trump flash on screen.
"I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight. Or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom — freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate and the freedom to love," Newsom says. Newsom has said he has no interest in running for president, but the ad is sure to stoke speculation that the 54-year-old Democrat is eyeing national office. DeSantis is a potential 2024 GOP presidential candidate whose popularity among Republicans has been on the rise.
Newsom handily beat back a recall attempt last year and is expected to cruise to reelection in November in the Golden State.
