Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appears to continue to remain on Gavin Newsom’s mind, as Newsom posted a bizarre tweet on Thursday, saying he will donate $100,000 to Charlie Crist. It seems evident that DeSantis is living in Newsom’s head rent-free because the California Governor seems a bit worried about the Florida gubernatorial race, which could lead to a potential future White House bout against DeSantis.
Newsom tweeted:
“Ron DeSantis should be elected as a governor in his first term. I’m pledging $100k right now to @CharlieCrist. Who will join me in helping Charlie become the next Governor of Florida?”
Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor.
To help my family, I am pledging $100k now @CharlieCrist.
I need your support to help Charlie be elected Governor of Florida. https://t.co/YvpkkGKkOb

It is truly sad that Newsom is more concerned about the state of red states than his own, which is partly because of his incompetence. From 2004 to 2011, Newsom served as San Francisco’s mayor. He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2011 and 2019. Now, he’s the Governor, so he has spent over 18 years as a “leader” in California. He has done the bare minimum to help residents; while crime has become rampant due to his endorsed District Attorneys’ soft-on-crime policies, homelessness has gotten far worse because there is no concrete plan besides spending more taxpayer money, with nothing to show for it, and claiming he is the “homeless czar” — we can see that. There is no plan for him to clamp down on open-air drugs, nor do he hire mental health professionals to help the homeless. He also doesn’t effectively finance rescue missions to address the problem of homelessness. California faces many more problems, but these are the most important.
So this “endorsement” by Newsom for Charlie Crist is actually a backhanded endorsement for DeSantis. California’s population shrank for the first-time in its history, but Florida had a rapid increase. DeSantis’ campaign welcomes Newsom’s support for Crist, as Christina Pushaw, DeSantis’ response director, tweeted: “Who needs opposition research when your opponents are like this.”

It was also very nice that Charlie Crist, a Floridian politician said he didn’t want Floridians’ votes but Gavin Newsom money.

It seems obvious that Newsom is going to run for President, whether that’s in 2024 or 2028. California conservatives are outnumbered nearly three-to-one compared to liberals, but that won’t be the case when Newsom decides to run for President. Because Newsom is too full of flaws, the GOP should be happy about that.
Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis have very little in common. DeSantis is more productive. Newsom is not bold enough to deliver on his big-hearted promises.
