The 2024 implications of California Gov. GavinNewsom running television advertisements in Florida are politically transparent to many Democrats.
But Democrats are nonetheless cheered to see a major party leader use the bully pulpit to defend liberal values and initiate a confrontation with Republicans, specifically top GOP presidential contender Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is about as disliked on the Left as former President Donald Trump.
Said a Democratic operative in Washington: The governor is “someone who’s stepping up to play some defense.” In a veiled shot at Biden, this Democrat added, “It’s not happening otherwise.”The president’s job approval ratings are in free fall, coming in at 33% nationally in a new Siena College poll for the New York Times and 37.7% in the RealClearPolitics average. Yet most Democratic insiders interviewed for this story requested anonymity.
The looming GOP takeover of Congress in the midterm elections would provide yet more fodder for the 54-year-old California governor to build a national profile. A Newsom political adviser did not respond to a text message requesting comment for this story. But in an email to grassroots supporters last week, the governor said he invested $100,000 in campaign funds to “fight” to reclaim the word “freedom” from DeSantis and the Republicans.
“The overall wrong track has gone up since the recall. I think it’s one of the reasons Newsom wants the DeSantis fight. He needs an opponent to avoid discussing his own record,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican operative in Sacramento who has been critical of Trump.
