Navarro criticized DeSantis and his victory on CNN Thursday as the panel discussed the results from the midterm elections. "I told you he was going to win bigly," Navarro said, referring to DeSantis.
"But listen, Ron DeSantis barely won in 2018 by 35,00 votes by the skin of his teeth against a black, progressive, little-known mayor from Tallahassee, Florida. Yesterday, he won by 20 percentage points. Why?" she asked. "Because he gamed the system,” Navarro explained.
Not everyone agreed with Navarro's assessment. Even progressive news outlets admitted that the major victories of DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) had turned the state of Florida from a swing state to a solid red state.
