Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hasn’t exactly made a spalsh on the national scene this year, but finally, he has done something very smart. DeSantis has agreed to a 90-minute debate with Newsom on Sean Hannity’s Fox Newsshow. It will likely be held in early November.
DeSantis told Hannity the debate will be important because the two men represent diametrically opposed visions of governance and the economy. Newsom, who is clearly auditioning to run for president if Joe Biden steps aside, has taunted DeSantis by running ads in his home state claiming “freedom is under attack” in Florida.
We can’t wait to break out the popcorn for this one. California is the prototypical high-tax, forced-union, culturally liberal blue state that is bleeding jobs, people, and businesses as homelessness, crime, and poverty rise. Florida’s economy is on fire.
“This is the debate for the future of our country,” DeSantis told Hannity. It sure is. What kind of country do Americans want?
