THE NOTE: A few prominent Republican figures made major political moves that sure look like stunts, even if they carry significant messaging and human impact.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis speaks to supporters at a campaign stop in Geneva, Fla., Aug. 4, 2022.If the point was to make a point, the mission has already been accomplished.
Meanwhile, DeSantis and Abbott went further in dueling yet complementary efforts to transport immigrants far beyond their states, in protest of what they call Democrats' border policies. Abbott dispatched buses that deposited would-be asylum seekers outside Vice President Kamala Harris’ official residence in Washington, while DeSantis flew a group of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard -- an elite enclave where former President Barack Obama has a home, drawing sharp outcry from some locals.
The billboards call on viewers to visit California's government site that provides information about how to get an abortion there, if needed. He is considered a potential 2024 contender -- speculation he has played down -- and though putting up billboards is clearly a less extreme measure than transporting migrants with no communication to localities unprepared to receive them, this move arguably has the same effect. It puts the governor in the middle of an issue that animates his party’s base, fighting the perceived wrongdoing of the opposition party, which could boost him later on in a presidential primary.
