Episode notes

Descentis is someone who has characterized himself as a Teddy Roosevelt Republican in the environmental sense. He's an opportunist in many ways not unlike Trump, says CNN's John Defterios. But it's clear that he wants to make it in his own image, but it's not exactly clear what his identity is," defterios adds.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has hit on a winning — if possibly unethical — campaign strategy: prosecuting people who accidentally committed voter fraud. The Tampa Bay Times’s Lawrence Mower explains.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Siona Peterous, fact-checked by Laura Bullard with help from Jillian Weinberger, engineered by Paul Robert Mounsey, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram, who also edited.
