The Republican Race: DeSantis' Controversies and Challenges

Host Rick Wilson dives deep into the morass of Florida politics with NBC Senior National Political reporter Matt Dixon on this episode of The Enemies List. They cover an emotionally disconnected, uncharismatic Ron DeSantis, popular with the GOPers in Florida, but flopping on the national stage and the challenges to democracy created by a longtime lack of a functional Democratic Party operation now trying to regain lost ground.
