Newsom Targets DeSantis's Abortion Ban in New Ad Ahead of Debate

The California governor's ad criticizes Florida's six-week abortion ban, sparking speculation about his own presidential ambitions.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has released an ad attacking Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's six-week abortion ban, set to air in Florida and Washington, D.C. during NFL Sunday Night Football and on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show.
The ad, titled 'Wanted', criticizes DeSantis for signing the 'Heartbeat Protection Act' into law, which prohibits abortions after six weeks of pregnancy and makes it a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, has responded to the ad by criticizing California and promoting Florida, stating 'Decline is a choice and success is attainable'.
The two governors are set to have a televised debate moderated by Sean Hannity on November 30, amidst a contentious Republican presidential contest.
Newsom's ad has sparked speculation that he may be considering a run for the presidency, despite his previous statements that he is not interested in the position.
