How William F. Buckley Jr.’s Right-Wing College Crusade Paved the Way for Ron DeSantis
Good morning from the Hive newsroom! Ron DeSantis didn’t come up with the idea to make college campuses into right-wing citadels all on his own. Sam Tanenhaus explores the history behind the Florida governor’s education crusade, going back to William F. Buckley Jr.’s pioneering conservative movement.
In other news, Eric Lutz argues that Democrats must take their heads out of the sand on Dianne Feinstein, who after three months of medical leave told reporters that she had been in the Senate the whole time. Plus, Bess Levin finds Donald Trump very bizarrely promising to make a “really great deal” on abortion that everyone will love. Needless to say, Levin is skeptical. Thanks for reading.
