The enduring east coast/west coast feud continues between the Governors of Florida and California.
On “Hannity,” California’s Gavin Newsom said Ron DeSantis‘ run for President was doomed, predicting former President Donald Trump would “clean his clock.”
Newsom’s prediction that Trump would thump DeSantis came during a spirited exchange with the Fox News Channel host about migrant flights Florida sent to Sacramento from Texas, which Newsom claims were a “stunt,” “embarrassing” and “pathetic.”
DeSantis has fought for more than a year with Gov. Newsom, a bi-coastal battle between two Governors who have not faced significant tests in their own states of late. By POLITICO’s reckoning, Newsom and DeSantis are “sworn enemies that need each other.” And there may be something to that.
On “Hannity,” Newsom also claimed he would do a three-hour debate with DeSantis with the Fox News perennial hosting, on “one day’s notice with no notes.”
We have reached out to the Governor’s Office and the DeSantis campaign to see if there is interest in this particular event.
Newsom’s latest comments come as DeSantis continues to struggle in polling, including among Golden State Republicans.
A recent Public Policy Institute of California survey conducted May 17-24, shows the former President with 50% support, way ahead of DeSantis at 21%.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has 10% support, good for a competitive third place. Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney’s 7% puts her in fourth place. No other candidate or potential candidate topped 3%.
This is the second recent poll to suggest DeSantis is facing a deficit in California.
The latest Berkeley Institute of Government Studies survey shows Trump ahead of DeSantis in a crowded field, 44% to 26%, reflecting a 26-point movement toward the former President at DeSantis’ expense in recent months. In February, DeSantis was up 37% to 29%.

Rhonda may share a cell with The Donald.
While Rhonda thought he was outsmarting the human trafficking law he just recently enacted, he forgot that when he used State of Florida money to pay for flying migrants workers from Texas to California, that put his actions within the legal bounds of State of Florida where Rhonda just outlawed what Rhonda just did.
Rhonda forgot to exempt their expenditures from human trafficking laws when they exempted their expenditures from freedom of information requests.
State of Florida won’t tell, but California can and will tell all. Once California gets the financier info from the charter Rhonda bought, twice, Rhonda’s going down.
Rhonda, don’t let the door hit you where the Sunshine don’t. Turns out your Ivy League Yarvard and Hale law degrees ain’t worth that much in the strategery department, just like your Governorship of Florida and its super majority GOP ain’t worth much in the experience department either. Bye Rhonda!

Look at this Dook 4 brains Earl, pushing the “the left is afraid of Desantis”.
Why Yes. Yes they are. Just like someone is afraid of catching Chlamydia from the Republican Representative named Birthday Cake (because everyone gets a piece – as long as they are campaign donors).

Gavin Newsom. The only Democrat out there that could be a bigger metrosexual besides him is that goofball mayor of Minneapolis.
