DeSantis is going after Newsom’s California —hard.
A new ad dropped by Team DeSantis highlights Califonia’s slide into a crime-ridden, drug-infested nightmare. DeSantis takes aim at Newsom’s left-wing policies, blaming them for what he’s calling “the great American exodus” from bright blue states.
“We’ve witnessed a great American exodus from states governed by leftist politicians,” DeSantis says. “This is a result of better governance in states like Florida. It is the result of poor governance in these left-wing states. That’s why people are moving.”
From Fox News:
The video’s release comes as DeSantis heads to California to “see first-hand the disastrous results of liberal governance,” his campaign said in a statement.
Newsom, who has been speculated to enter the 2024 race for the White House in a direct challenge to President Biden, has pushed back on the notion of California’s dwindling population.
…
California lost 117,552 people between Jan. 1, 2021 and Jan. 1, 2022, according to the state’s Department of Finance, bringing its population back to where it was in 2016.
In 2022, Florida saw the biggest rush of new residents migrating from predominantly blue states with steep taxes, with about 319,000 Americans making the move there, according to data from the National Association of Realtors. That amounts to a population increase of nearly 2% – well above the 0.4% national growth rate recorded in the U.S. between July 2021 and July 2022.
