Newsom Confronts DeSantis Over Florida College Takeover

California Governor Gavin Newsom is visiting the New College of Florida to speak with students who are fighting against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' effort to control the college. DeSantis recently named six conservative trustees to the college, including Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow for the conservative Manhattan Institute think tank, who is known for his activism against critical race theory in American education. Newsom's visit is part of his tour through the South to support Democrats and promote progressive values, and is a further escalation in the battle between these two ideological rivals.
