Why the rivalry between Gavin Newsom and Ron DeSantis is deepening

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 06:46:18 GMT

By STEVE PEOPLES and MICHAEL R. BLOODSACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom says there’s no chance “on God’s green earth” he’s running for president in 2024, but he wants to make clear that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is running, is “weak” and “undisciplined” and “will be crushed by Donald Trump.”DeSantis, meanwhile, likes to mock Newsom’s apparent “fixation” on Florida while insisting that the Democratic governor’s “leftist government” is destroying California.Welcome to one of the fiercest rivalries in U.S. politics, featuring dueling term-limited governors who represent opposite ends of the ideological spectrum and lead two of the nation’s largest and most influential states. Newsom and DeSantis will not face each other on any ballot in 2024, but in many ways, they are defining the debate from their corners of America as the presidential primary season gets underway.RELATED: Biden crisscrosses Silicon Valley as DeSantis slips into town for busy day of fundraisingNewsom addr...
