Let me summarize it for you and then we can get into the reality and facts Newsome so desperately avoided by flailing, deflecting and lying his dumb ass off.
Newsome came across, as any rich, white privilege, entitled white Democrat would, as a smarmy, arrogant congenital liar.
DeSantis answered the questions, was stoic in his facts and made Newsome look like the uneducated, smarmy, failed leftist dullard we know him to be.
Serving only himself
At 45, DeSantis also is younger than Newsom by 11 years, and better educated, having graduated from Yale and Harvard Law School before joining the Navy and serving in Iraq.
Newsom has a mediocre political science degree and has never served anyone but himself.
Newsom grew up with the Gettys and the Pelosis and swans around as if he owns the world while DeSantis still is the guy who has to work for everything.
After running California into the ground, Newsom’s bumptious self-regard is a laughable contrast to DeSantis’ awkwardly earnest humility.
Homelessness, rampant drug use, and human excrement on sidewalks are the most obvious manifestations of Newsom’s elitist leadership style, but less visible metrics on California’s misery index include woeful student learning outcomes and a yawning gulf between rich and poor.
For his handling of COVID alone, Newsom should be disqualified from public office.
Here the contrast with Florida is epic, as a new book, “The Newsom Nightmare” by former gubernatorial rival John Cox, lays out.
While DeSantis “adopted the Swedish model of allowing society to remain open while protecting those at higher risk,” Newsom instituted the most draconian lockdown in the country.
The strategy paid off for Florida, with a death rate among seniors 20% lower than California’s.
The Wall Street Journal also ran the numbers this week and they are brutal: California has the second-highest jobless rate in the country at 4.8% compared to Florida’s 2.8%.
In California, taxes total $10,167 per capita vs. $5,406 in Florida.
Yet for all that taxpayer money, Newsom presided over a $31 billion budget shortfall this year while DeSantis ran an $18 billion surplus.
Electricity prices are twice as high in California, and gas costs $1.80 more per gallon because of Newsom’s insane climate policies.
On K-12, California spends 45% more per pupil than Florida, but student test scores are “significantly lower.”
California has almost seven times more homeless on the streets, despite having twice Florida’s population.
Florida has halved its homeless numbers with a “tough love” approach, writes Cox.
More than 1 million Golden Staters evacuated in the three years to July 2022, while almost 750,000 people moved to Florida.
There is no question who is the better governor, but you can count on Newsom to wrench the debate away from his failures and onto *favorite Dem topics like abortion and Trump derangement.
