California Gov. Gavin Newsom criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sean Hannity's Fox News show, igniting the latest in a series of squabbles between the two politicians.
Appearing on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show, a conduit into the bloodstream of former President Trump’s America, California Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed to delight in trolling Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis is campaigning for president in 2024, and instead of “punching down” in a fight with a governor, it serves him better to spar with candidates in his path to the White House: Trump and President Biden, according to Nick Iarossi, a Tallahassee lobbyist and informal advisor to DeSantis. Newsom’s confidants agree that the Florida governor had been relatively disciplined in not engaging with Newsom and brushing off his comments, in an effort to appear presidential. Yet they celebrate each time DeSantis takes the bait, elevating Newsom’s national profile and giving him an opportunity to fight DeSantis in a way that helps Biden in the presidential race.
