Florida governor was fundraising in the Bay Area for his Republican presidential nomination bid.
DeSantis became a rising Republican star during the COVID-19 pandemic, touting Florida as a sanctuary from the controversial lockdowns and mandates pushed by Democratic governors like California’s Gavin Newsom to help slow spread of the deadly virus.
Despite the former president’s indictment this month on charges of mishandling secret government documents, Trump has consistently led the Republican field. AThat’s down from 53% in May. But DeSantis held steady at 26% and support for other Republican contenders like former Vice President Mike Pence, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie was in the single digits.
“This is much less about taking votes from Trump than it is simply trolling Gavin Newsom,” Schnur said. “It’s hard to see many Republican voters or donors factoring this into their decisions. But DeSantis and Newson have been going at it for months now and this is just one more escalation in a rivalry that’s probably going to continue for the next five years.”
