The Spin
Republican narrative
DeSantis is right to be taking action against woke prosecutors who consider themselves above the law. Egregious violations of the rule of law such as Warren's blatant disregard for the decisions of elected legislators demand a harsh response.
Democratic narrative
Warren is an elected representative who became the face of progressive criminal justice reform in 2016 and has since been standing up for reproductive rights. DeSantis himself has overreached in this case, exercising dictatorial powers while making specious criticisms of Democratic views on policy matters.
Metaculus Prediction
