Ron DeSantis accepts Newsom debate.
Gov. Ron DeSantis Agrees to Debate Gov. Gavin Newsom
After much speculation, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) has agreed to engage in a highly anticipated debate with Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). The possibility of this debate has been circulating for nearly a year, and DeSantis confirmed his willingness during a recent appearance on Fox News’s Hannity.
“Absolutely, I’m game. Let’s get it done. Just tell me when and where. We’ll do it,”
DeSantis enthusiastically responded when asked by host Sean Hannity if he would be open to debating the California governor. He further emphasized the significance of this debate by highlighting the ongoing competition between California and Florida.
“And here’s the thing. I mean, in one respect, the debate between California and Florida has already been had, as you suggest. People have been voting on that. They’ve been voting on it with their feet. They have fled California in record numbers,”
DeSantis proudly showcased the migration numbers to Florida, along with other favorable statistics that demonstrate the success of his state.
“We have the No. 1 ranked economy, No. 1 now in education, crime rate at a 50-year low,” DeSantis continued. “But in another sense, this is the debate for the future of our country because you have people like Joe Biden [who] would love to see the Californication of the United States. Biden may not even be the nominee. You could have Gavin Newsom, you could have Kamala Harris. And I think if we go down that direction, that’s going to accelerate American decline. We can’t see America decline anymore. We need to reverse American decline.”
This debate holds immense significance as it showcases two prominent figures in their respective parties, each embodying contrasting styles of governance. Newsom is widely praised by Democrats for his progressive approach, while DeSantis receives accolades from Republicans for his conservative stance. Their differences have been evident through their public clashes on social media.
DeSantis, who is running for president in 2024, is considered the most likely Republican candidate to challenge former President Donald Trump in the GOP primary. On the other hand, Newsom has not yet announced his intention to challenge Biden for the Democratic nomination.
