Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's war against The Walt Disney Co. has impacted the state's biggest tourism attraction and is leading to a broader backlash that could seriously hurt the state's economy.

DeSantis, a right-wing candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, singled out Disney because of its LGBTQ+ values and inclusivity, which he disagrees with. In response, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has seized the opportunity to embrace Disney for its diversity, making his state a more attractive option for Disney's future investments.
