The media is out to try and astroturf a primary to make it look like the Republican Party is as disunified as the Democrats. But Ron is not running. Quick prediction.

If he doesn't have anyone who is polling in at least in the low double digit range, he will effectively ignore them and refuse to even campaign against them. He'll make a speech and say look, I'm going to get the nomination. I'm not going to waste my time on you. The Dems can't...

Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, has been putting Democrats and the corporate press on defense by refusing to play along with what she says are partisan narratives. Pushaw has garnered national attention for her active and sometimes aggressive interactions with journalists. Her strategy may serve as a playbook for conservatives who are ready to reject the media’s framing and communicate with the public on their own terms. The media’s interest in Pushaw is a product of their obsession with DeSantis, Pushaw told the DCNF, which began in 2020 when Florida opened schools and businesses earlier...

And in April, Florida...

MSNBC’s Morning Joe blasted Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday over his suspension of a prosecutor who said he wouldn’t enforce Florida’s laws against abortion and gender-affirming care for minors.

A 15-week ban is unconstitutional, and I said I'm not going to enforce it.” Despite being suspended by DeSantis, the Hillsborough County State Attorney plans on continuing to do the job he was elected to do. “The reality is the governor can sign some order in his pen or his crayon, and it doesn't stop what the voters voted for me to do,” Warren said.

I mean, this is out of, like, 1984 Orwellian thought police," Warren told CNN. "The governor is just grasping at straws here."
