Analysis: Many previous presidential candidates have talked about unity. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has crafted a confrontational message.
of state government to affect the conduct of private businesses in ways few free-market conservatives have done. In the most celebrated case, he took on the Walt Disney Company, which had challenged him on legislation prohibiting the teaching of gender and identity issues to young schoolchildren.to highlight his contempt for the Biden administration’s border policies.
Disdain for the blue states courses through his rhetoric. Other states “grinded their citizens down” while Florida lifted them up, he said in his inaugural. Other states “consigned their people’s freedom to the dustbin” while Florida “stood strongly as freedom’s linchpin.”He points to Florida’s population growth and credits his leadership during the pandemic as a catalyst for the shift.
“This is a result of better governance in states like Florida, and it was a result of poor governance in these left-wing states,” DeSantis said at the Reagan library.Although the states he cited have lost population, it should be noted that California Gov. Gavin Newsom won his reelection by 18 points and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker by 13 points. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul won her election by a narrower six points.
there is weak, and Republicans firmly control the legislature. If he becomes president, DeSantis would be confronted by a divided Congress and a more challenging political culture — one that has frustrated presidents of both parties who believed their experience as governors gave them the knowledge and tools to deal with the legislative branch.Successful presidential candidates often calibrate a general election message at the very start of a candidacy.
