CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Deadline reports:

“Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor,” California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote today of the Florida leader. Newsom proposed to do so by donating $100,000 to DeSantis’ opponent in the November midterm, Rep. Charlie Crist (D-Fla).

Newsom posted the statement on Twitter along with a link to an ActBlue fundraising page and the prompt, “Who will join me in helping Charlie become the next Governor of Florida?”

The buzzy actions have not only raised the ambitious Newsom’s national profile, they have prompted wide speculation that he wants to run for president in 2024. If he did so, it currently looks like his main opponent would be DeSantis.

Great to have you on Team Crist, @GavinNewsom!

I’ve said it all along, DeSantis isn’t just a Florida problem. He wants to be president and force his radical right-wing views on the country.

When we beat him this November, that show is OVER. Join us today:https://t.co/Bgss6lGA0E
