Yeah, but DeSantis governed as a true conservative and won by nearly 20% during reelection.
If a politician becomes ungrateful to people who helped him while taking lobbyists money 💰 I suppose he qualifies as a “true conservative”
He was able to do what he did because he had no opposition in the legislature.
Same reason Newsome can pass whatever he wants.
As POTUS it is unlikely he will have no opposition.
He almost lost to Andrew Gillum for his first term. And he's been able to govern as a conservative because he's had a 2-1 Republican majority in the State Legislature since he's been elected. He's never served in an office where Republicans didn't have the majority. The years he was in Congress in Washington, Republicans controlled the House every year. After he left, Democrats took control of the House.
