Here is a list of governors who preside over states with higher death-per-million rates than FL's Ron DeSantis, whom the media have anointed Public Enemy #1:
1. Murphy (D)
2. Cuomo (D)
3. Baker (R)
4. Raimondo (D)
5. Lamont (D)
6. Burgum (R)
7. Noem (R)
8. Reeves (R)

9. Bel Edwards (D)
10. Pritzker (D)
11. Whitmer (D)
12. Wolf (D)
13. Holcomb (R)
14. Reynolds (R)
15. Hutchinson (R)
16. Ducey (R)
17. Lujan Grisham (D)
18. McMaster (R)
19. Lee (R)
20. Sisolak (D)
21. Kemp (R)
22. DeSantis (R)

Fully 20.6 percent of DeSantis' state is 65+, making it the second-oldest state (and thus most covid-vulnerable state) in America. By contrast, NJ (#1 in deaths-per-million) and NY (#2) rank 30th and 26th in percentage of population above age 65. https://www.prb.org/which-us-states-are-the-oldest/

In other words, the media are unbelievably and egregiously dishonest. But you knew that.
