Nationally, very very few are buying what he's sold to people in Florida.

DeSantis has really hurt Florida's people, and he is seriously misguided.
Yes, they really, really hate him in Florida! How is that California budget doing these days?

As for content on character, DeSantis wins hands down. It's not even debatable. Gavin is an uber wealthy SF elite, grew up with privilege with political connections. Didn't follow his own mandates during Covid.

It's not even debatable at this point.
Definitely DeSantis.

DeSantis allowing Florida businesses to reopen earlier during COVID (compared to most states) saved many small businesses which in South Florida are largely latino run.

Newsom meanwhile has effectively run California into the ground, but he's had a lot of help from local Soros backed DA and some crazy mayors.

Please expand upon your bigotry, it’s fun to read. Or perhaps you could just tell us what, exactly, DeSantis has done to hurt me.

I’m not wealthy, religious, or a Republican. I suppose you could call me white, though I have nearly as much Native American in my family tree as I do Caucasian. It’s funny that with all the bashing you do of DeSantis I’ve yet to see you actually back any of it up with facts.

Who’s a better governor? Ask the constituents.

In a California poll, respondents gave Newsom 54% approval, vs 41% disapprove.

In a Florida poll, Floridians gave almost identical scores to DeSantis, 54-43%.
