However, it appears his biggest critics this election cycle have been the local press.
While DeSantis is sailing towards reelection, the most prominent newspapers in the Sunshine State have all endorsed Crist, signaling the media is out of step with Florida voters.
"Gov. Ron DeSantis’ Florida is a place of meanness. It’s a place where dissent is muzzled, where personal rights triumph over the greater good, where winning is more important than unity — especially if that victory moves him closer to a White House run. That’s not the Florida we had four years ago. And it’s not a Florida that voters should tolerate for the next four years. There’s a far better choice in the Nov. 8 election: Democrat Charlie Crist," the Miami Herald editorial board wrote last month.
After giving DeSantis "credit" for his handling of Hurricane Ian, the Miami Herald concluded he "deeply damaged our state in four years," saying he "pushed us apart… worked only for the betterment of himself and his drive for higher office" and "marginalized, penalized and ostracized entire groups of people — his constituents — though he spurns them relentlessly."
"Four more years of this, and what will be left of civil society in Florida? We’ll become unrecognizable. Charlie Crist is the best choice. He’ll work to unite us — Democrats, Republicans and independents alike. He’s what Florida needs — now," the Herald concluded.

Didn’t these fish wrappers endorse homo cocaine sniffing Gilliam in last election?
“Bully” Governor?? Such drama queens!
Charlie Crist is just like Charlie the Tuna.
Sorry Charlie. Noosepapers won’t help ya.
Staffed by people who are afraid of being "cancelled" by their fellow Twitter Bluecheck journalists.
One of the biggest handicaps the Democrats have right now is a totally lapdog media that carries their water and protects them from bad news, making Democrat politicians entirely unable to see when trends are going against them.
This is just another example. DeSantis will win by double digits but every newspaper in Florida is telling Charlie Crist what a great job he'd be doing.
Maybe these candidates would be better served if the media told them honestly why they failed to connect with the voters? But the media can't do this because, as I pointed out above, any individual journalist who reported this would get cancelled by their fellow Twitter Bluechecks.
It's quite a vicious circle.
Yeah, they sure know how to pick’em.
A Republican, an Independent, and a Democrat walk into a bar. The bartender says, “Hello Mr. Crist!”
Right. Opinions and attempts at influencing opinion belong on the editorial page and the opposite-editorial pages. They used to be written by editors and columnists. And that used to be where one would find political endorsements ...
So DeSantis is a “bully”? lmao
Even if so, whatta reason to vote for a political whore like CharlieBoi
They had to really reach to come up with that one
People who think their own personal power, influence, and wealth might be increased by association with a corrupt politician might endorse Crist over DeSantis.
Exactly! I'm sure these fishwraps would still support Gillum if he was running this year.
When “racist!” and “Hitler!” and “He will kill you!” and “Misogynist!” all stop working, they always turn to “He’ll work to unite us.”
It just proves “journarlism” is no longer journalism (if it ever was what Liberals since the 60s sold it as - “unbiased”).
They call him a bully because they are girlie-man snowflakes who cringe at the idea of actual masculinity. I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I’ll not let the pearl clutching leftists turn me into a wuss like them.
At least the People of Florida now see without a doubt that the “news” outlets are nothing but rat shills.
One of the endorsements said Charlie Crist promotes unity, after the primaries Charlie Crist told all DeSantis supporters he did not want their support, hardly a unifying message

The fifth-column enemedia continue to give aid and comfort to the Demonicrat enemies of the United States.
If these papers really cared about improving the quality of life for people in Florida they wouldn’t support a rank political hack like Crist.
cancel newspapers..... let any place that puts ads in them that you think the newspaper suck
