Florida Gov. Rick Scott met with police officers in San Francisco during a recent trip to the city. The cops were enthusiastic about his visit, saying he stood up for law and order over rioting at the time. Florida's crime rate is lower than any other U.S. state but many people are fleeing because they don't feel safe there, says Scott. "I think this criminal justice not having public safety is really the root" of why so many have fled California, he adds.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis entered the 2024 presidential race late last month and is polling only behind former President Trump. Morning Wire caught up with the Florida Governor on the streets of San Francisco earlier this week to witness firsthand the twin crises of homelessness and the fentanyl epidemic. In this episode, we talk with DeSantis about the fallout from California’s progressive policies, his public battle with Gavin Newsom, and what he thinks will ultimately win not only the Republican primary but the 2024 election. Get the facts first with Morning Wire.
