Ron DeSantis (R) over the decision to fly several dozen migrants to the Golden State, threatening possible charges against Florida officials and labeling DeSantis a \u201csmall, pathetic man.\u201d He also raised eyebrows earlier this week with a sit-down interview with Fox News\u2019 Sean Hannity.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>His aggressive media play comes amid heightened anxiety within the Democratic Party over President Biden\u2019s age and low popularity, raising the question of what exactly Newsom is aiming to achieve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI buy that he supports the president, but I also think that he wants to be there in case, God forbid, there needs to be an alternative if something h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens to the president or if somebody else mounts a challenge, I think he\u2019ll be right there,\u201d said Democratic strategist Steven Maviglio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, [former Gov.] Jerry Brown gave him some advice in the news a few months ago, \u2018Hey, if you want to run, run,\u2019\u201d Maviglio said, adding, \u201cHe hasn\u2019t taken that advice and feels he can sort of run a shadow candidacy, while also being the carrier of the message that Democrats want to talk about \u2026 It doesn\u2019t hurt him at all politically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Democrats concede that Newsom likely has higher ambitions for the White House, some members of the party are pushing back at the notion that he\u2019s running a shadow campaign.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Even still, he\u2019s made appearances on the national media circuit this month, including with Politico, NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show and Fox News\u2019s \u201cHannity,\u201d raising renewed interest in his political future.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some of that national spotlight has been used to go after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), a 2024 GOP presidential contender and former President Trump\u2019s chief rival, over several dozen migrants who were flown to California. Newsom\u2019s administration alleges that some of the migrants <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ed to California under false pretenses, while the DeSantis administration has maintained they went to the Golden State voluntarily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Newsom has slammed DeSantis as a \u201csmall, pathetic man\u201d over the situation and has suggested that kidnapping charges could be waged. And in recent days, he\u2019s used the national spotlight to go even further.<\/p>\n<p>The California governor doubled down on his criticism of DeSantis in a recent interview with Politico.\u00a0And during a one-on-one with Fox News host Sean Hannity that aired on Monday, he said he would agree to participate in a debate with DeSantis moderated by Hannity.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor later responded to Newsom\u2019s challenge by saying the California governor should stop \u201cpussyfooting around\u201d and jump in the 2024 race.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Maviglio suggested that Newsom\u2019s attack-dog approach is actually helpful for Biden, saying that the California Democrat can speak in a way that Biden can\u2019t as president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s approach is what we saw on the debt ceiling bill was to try to \u2026 consolidate people. Biden can\u2019t lash out at Trump the way Newsom is. He can\u2019t lash out at DeSantis in the style and manner as DeSantis is,\u201d he explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s appearance on \u201cHannity\u201d \u2014 his first appearance on Fox News in more than decade \u2014 even impressed some of his critics.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cHis interview with Hannity might have been the best I\u2019ve ever seen him. Normally, when Newsom engages in national politics, he tends to sound very bitter and very angry and somewhat divisive,\u201d said Dan Schnur, a former Republican strategist who\u2019s currently a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and University of Southern California.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he came across very well in the Hannity interview to a point where Hannity actually showed him some significant respect,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Democrats say that Newsom\u2019s escalating attacks on DeSantis are also being applauded nationally, including in the Florida Republican\u2019s home state.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019ve been received by Democrats in Florida the same way they\u2019ve been received by Democrats across the country \u2014 extraordinarily welcome and well received,\u201d said Fernand Amandi, a Democratic pollster based in Miami who worked on both of former President Obama\u2019s presidential campaigns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think what\u2019s interesting is in the same way that Ron DeSantis is trying to portray his candidacy as \u2018Make America Florida.\u2019 You see Gavin Newsom as the anti-DeSantis, in essence saying \u2018Make America California,&#8217;\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Newsom\u2019s rising national profile comes as Biden vies for a second term in the White House. Recent polling has shown, however, that a majority of Americans \u2014 including members of his own party \u2014 don\u2019t want to see a second Biden White House run.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>An\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2024-election\/nbc-news-poll-nearly-70-gop-voters-stand-trump-indictment-investigatio-rcna80917?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_mtp\">NBC News poll released in April<\/a>\u00a0found 70 percent of Americans believed Biden shouldn\u2019t run for a second term, including more than half of Democrats (51 percent.) A majority of voters, 60 percent in that poll, also don\u2019t want to see Trump again, which included around a third of GOP respondents.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>That poll also noted that of the 70 percent of respondents who didn\u2019t want a repeat Biden White House run, nearly half of them pointed to Biden\u2019s age as a \u201cmajor reason\u201d why they didn\u2019t want to see him running in 2024. Biden, who is 80, would be 86 years old when he leaves office if he\u2019s elected to another term.<\/p>\n<p>But other Democrats are batting away speculation that Newsom has higher aspirations than the governor\u2019s mansion right now.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr7_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden and Vice President Harris are running a strong campaign focusing on the issues that matter most to the American people: jobs, the economy, and protecting American interests abroad. Democrats and the American people are fully behind them,\u201d said Michael Kapp, a Democratic National Committee member from California, in an email.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are no ulterior motives behind Newsom\u2019s actions. He is doing his part to protect American and Californian values, lockstep behind President Biden and Vice President,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Even if there\u2019s no shakeup within the 2024 Democratic primary, members of the party say they see Newsom as an asset to the national conversation on issues like immigration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s refreshing to see him engaging so aggressively. I mean, certainly the governors of Florida and Texas have been very significant voices on the national stage for years. It\u2019s certainly appropriate for the governor of California to be as well,\u201d explained longtime Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg.<\/p>\n<p>Though 2028 is a ways off, many Democrats hope they\u2019ll see him on a presidential debate stage soon.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he does run one day, and I hope he does, the rest of the country will get to know him as we do. He\u2019s never shied away from fighting back when our values are under attack and he\u2019s showing others what that could look like on a national stage,\u201d Shawnda Westly, former senior strategist and executive director of the state\u2019s Democratic Party, told The Hill in an email.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
