<p>California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom &#8220;might as well light a pile of cash on fire&#8221; by running an ad in Florida to attack Ron DeSantis, a spokesman for the Sunshine State governor told The Daily Wire.</p>
<p>Newsom rolled out a new political ad set to air in Florida starting July 4, fueling speculation the West Coast leftist may be mulling a 2024 presidential run. But Team DeSantis scoffed at the tactic, and suggested voters aren&#8217;t likely impressed by Newsom&#8217;s stewardship of California.</p>
<p class="p1">“Gavin Newsom might as well light a pile of cash on fire,&#8221; Dave Abrams, a spokesperson for DeSantis&#8217;s re-election campaign told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Pass the popcorn for his desperate attempt to win back the California refugees who fled the hellhole he created in his state to come to Florida.</p>
<p class="p1">“The people of Florida pay no mind to the pathetic smear campaigns from the Democrats and their allies in the corporate media,&#8221; Abrams added. &#8220;We’re too busy enjoying the freedom Governor Ron DeSantis has created in the Sunshine State.”</p>
<p>The ad is being paid for by Newsom for California Governor 2022. <a href="https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2022-07-03/join-us-in-california-newsom-to-air-ads-in-florida">According</a> to the Los Angeles Times, it is Newsom&#8217;s first television spot of the general election. It is scheduled to run on Florida&#8217;s Fox News cable zones beginning on Independence Day.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s Independence Day. So let&#8217;s talk about what&#8217;s going on in America,&#8221; Newsom says in the 30-second spot. &#8220;Freedom is under attack in your state. I urge all of you living in Florida to join the fight &#8212; or join us in California, where we still believe in freedom: freedom of speech, freedom to choose, freedom from hate, and the freedom to love. Don&#8217;t let them take your freedom.&#8221;</p>
<p>The idea that Floridians would leave the Sunshine State to go to Newsom&#8217;s California goes against accelerating patterns that show the exact opposite. In 2021, more than <a tabindex="0" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/06/11/californians-working-from-home-are-moving-to-mexico-amid-inflation.html#:~:text=More%20than%20360%2C000%20people%20left,heading%20south%20of%20the%20border." target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">360,000 people left California</a>, with many headed to Florida for its better business climate, lower taxes and resistance to the woke culture that engulfs the Golden State.</p>
<p>Still, with President Joe Biden&#8217;s approval rating plummeting, many Democrats are touting Newsom as a possible replacement on the 2024 ticket.</p>
<p>“Gavin Newsom had to know that this would signal that people would interpret or misinterpret his actions as presidential campaign ambitions,” James Taylor, USF’s Political Science professor, <a href="https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/california-news/gavin-newsom-california-florida/2929760/?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_LABrand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> NBC 4 Los Angeles on Friday.</p>
<p>Newsom has recently downplayed his interest in a 2024 run for the Oval Office. However, SF Gate <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/gavin-newsom-further-stirs-2024-speculation-with-florida-ad-buy/ar-AAYWePn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">quoted</a> Nathan Click, a spokesperson for Newsom&#8217;s re-election campaign, saying, &#8220;stay tuned,&#8221; when asked about the California governor&#8217;s future plans.</p>
