The Florida governor, who first ascended to the office in a nail-biter 2018 contest, has been a rising star in Republican circles.

Taking note of DeSantis&#8217;s growing profile, Crist has implored Democrats to focus on his gubernatorial showdown, insisting now is the time to beat DeSantis. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<figure class=\"Figure mb-1 mb-sm-3 mb-md-1 article-lead-photo data_invisible\" data-align=\"center\" data-image-size=\"fixed\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n<div class=\"Figure-container\"><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\" \/><source media=\"(max-width: 768px)\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_md\" \/><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" type=\"image\/webp\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\" \/><source media=\"(max-width: 1440px)\" data-image-size=\"1060x600_xl\" \/><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\" \/><source data-image-size=\"1060x600\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"image\" data-image-size=\"1060x600\" alt=\"Charlie Crist\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20175052\/90-80 1x, https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20175218\/90-81 2x\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/20175052\/90-80\" \/><figcaption class=\"Figure-caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">\n                Florida Democratic gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist speaks during a campaign event in Pinecrest, Fla., Monday, Oct. 17, 2022.<br \/>\n               <\/figcaption><div class=\"Figure-credit\" itemprop=\"author\">\n                (AP Photo\/Rebecca Blackwell)\n               <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;It is the Democrats&#8217; last chance to stop him, and it&#8217;s going to be a lot cheaper to do it in Florida than it would be to do it in 50 states.
