DeSantis and Newsom's Culture War Takes Center Stage.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke to Michigan Republicans, positioning himself as an unapologetic conservative who has developed a "culture of winning" in his state. He did not mention Trump by name but referenced the NY indictment. DeSantis railed against a "woke ideology" that he claimed Democrats are advancing across the country under the guise of acknowledging systemic injustices. He touted laws he has signed to limit discussions of race or sexuality in Florida schools, his fight against Disney, and his decision to fly Venezuelan asylum seekers to Massachusetts in an apparent critique of Democratic immigration policy. DeSantis has not yet announced a presidential campaign but is setting the stage for a possible run in the GOP primary against former President Donald Trump.
