TAMPA, Fla.—During a campaign event on Oct. 5 built around his continued dedication to law enforcement, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took some time to share his perspective with Tampa Bay area supporters about his upcoming debate with California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“I think about the future,” Mr. DeSantis said. “California really represents the petri dish for leftism in America. What Biden and his crew are doing are about three or four years behind where California is. And, so, that represents the future,” he said.
