LEADERSHIP: Ron DeSantis Offers Aid to California As Wildfires Burn Out of

There could not be a clearer contrast in state leadership than the one between California governor Gavin Newsom and Florida governor Ron DeSantis.

While LA burns, thanks in large part to Newsom’s damaging environmental policies, we watched how well Ron DeSantis handled the aftermath of two major hurricanes — Helene and Milton — and was able to send aid to North Carolina after cleaning up the mess in his own state.

Now he’s doing the same with California:

Our prayers are with everyone affected by the horrific fires in Southern California. When disaster strikes, we must come together to help our fellow Americans in any way we can. The state of Florida has offered help to assist the people of California in responding to these fires…

This is what leadership looks like.

Not only are we Floridians blessed to have you as governor, but the entire nation is as well.

We sure are.

California needs @GovRonDeSantis to step in for @GavinNewsom right now and lead the fire recovery effort.

This probably wasn’t DeSantis’ intent, but this is some major shade thrown at Newsom.

That’s my Governor. Thank you for showing once again what real leadership looks like.

When Americans are suffering, real Americans step up to help. We are stronger together.

He is a leader.

A true leader steps up, even for those outside their own state. While California’s leadership fumbles around blaming “climate change,” Florida is offering real help. DeSantis proves once again what actual competence looks like—prioritizing action and unity over empty rhetoric.…

These fires weren’t caused by climate change.

At the direction of Governor DeSantis, FDEM stands ready to support immediate California response efforts.

Florida is prepared to deploy an incident management team, as well as logistics support personnel & equipment. https://t.co/LSu82ter4L

Thank you, FDEM.

LA voters chose Newsom for Governor and Karen Bass for Mayor. Newsom shrugged while hundreds of thousands of criminal transients took over our streets (most common cause of urban fires), and Bass left for Ghana while fire hydrants are not even hooked up to water. Any regrets? https://t.co/TRIgYUaMqo

We bet there are a lot of regrets right now, sadly.
