Newsom pledges $100K to Crist to make DeSantis a one-term governor

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom fired shots at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis revealing he will give $100,000 to the Republican governor’s midterm opponent in an effort to flip the red seat blue in the November election.

In a tweet posted by Newsom Thursday, the governor pledged the large donation to Rep. Charlie Crist, D-Fla., who recently won the Florida gubernatorial Democratic primary and advanced to the midterms where he will face DeSantis.

Newsom, who is also running for re-election this fall, made his objective with the donation clear. “Time to make Ron DeSantis a one-term governor,” Newsom said.
