Gov. Ron DeSantis said he’s worried that residents and companies from California are moving to Florida, which may impact the local politics of his state.

“There is cause for concern,” DeSantis said at an event on Monday about the phenomenon. “Texas would have all these companies moved from California over the years. So you‘d have companies move from San Francisco to Austin, and they’d bring hundreds of employees with them. And those employees would vote the exact same way they voted that turned San Francisco into the dumpster fire that it is.”
