Ron DeSantis is āfundamentally authoritarianā, but Donald Trumpās quest for āvengeanceā poses an even greater threat to democracy, Californiaās Democratic governor Gavin Newsom said on Sunday.
Newsom took aim at the leading two candidates for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination during a hard-hitting and wide-ranging interview on NBCās Meet the Press, the final episode with its long-time host Chuck Todd.
āI worry about democracy,ā he said. āI worry about the fetishness for autocracy that weāre seeing not just from Trump, but around the world, and notably across this country.
āIāve made the point about DeSantis that I think heās functionally authoritarian. Iām worried more, in many respects, about Trumpism, which transcends well beyond his term and time in tenure.ā
Newsom added: āThe vengeance in Donald Trumpās heart right now is more of a threat.ā
The Public Policy Institute of California has recent survey data estimating that, in 2021, 2.7m Californians under 65 were uninsured out of a population of just under 40m.
With Newsomās new changes going into effect in a few months, about 700k new people will come eligible.
It aināt 100%, but at least heās moving the ball down the court in significant chunks. Californiaās coverage rate has come up a LOT. ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ

Could be worse. The āmini-medā insurance policies that the GOP want to bring back (i.e., insurance so shitty you might as well be uninsured) could be legal again.
