Dueling Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla) and Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) are ready to duke it out in a much-anticipated debate. These two fiery politicians have been going at each other like cats and dogs, and now it’s time to settle the score once and for all. While having a friendly chat with Sean Hannity on Fox News, DeSantis confidently declared that he’s up for the challenge. Newsom had previously boasted about his willingness to engage in a three-hour debate with DeSantis on short notice and without any notes. Now, it seems like the Florida superstar is ready to call Newsom’s bluff.
This battle between DeSantis and Newsom isn’t anything new. These guys have been throwing punches at each other for quite some time now. DeSantis has been pointing fingers at Newsom, accusing him of turning California into a safe haven for illegal aliens. On the other hand, Newsom has been attacking DeSantis for his family-first agenda and his refusal to bow down to the demands of the alphabet people. It’s a classic clash of ideologies, and neither governor is backing down.
The debate between California and Florida is already over. People have been voting with their feet for years.
But the debate about the future of our country is one we need to have.

DeSantis took to Twitter after his appearance on Hannity and threw down the gauntlet. He proclaimed that the debate between California and Florida is already settled—people have been voting with their feet and flocking to the sunshine state in droves. But he also emphasized the importance of debating the future of our country, claiming he has the best vision for reversing its decline. It’s clear that DeSantis is ready to defend his policies and show the world why he’s the right man for the job.
Newsom’s camp confirmed that the governor is still keen on debating DeSantis. They have even sent a formal request to Fox News, offering up November 8th or 10th as potential debate dates. The plan is to have Hannity moderate a 90-minute showdown on the Right-leaning network. But here’s the twist—there won’t be any in-studio audience. It’ll just be Newsom and DeSantis, going head-to-head on live television.
For DeSantis, this debate could be his ticket to the presidential spotlight. As he struggles to keep up with former President Trump in the polls, he is in dire need of a breakthrough moment. On the other hand, rumors are swirling around that Newsom has his sights set on a White House bid in 2024. This debate could be the Democrat’s chance to defend his actions as governor, which many blame for California’s downfall. With crime and homelessness on the rise, residents are fleeing the state in droves. Newsom needs to convince the American people that he’s not to blame for the mess he’s made.
So get your popcorn ready, folks! This debate is going to be one for the books. Two titans of politics going at it, fighting for their version of America’s future. It’s going to be a battle of epic proportions, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will DeSantis come out on top and continue his rise to the national stage? Or will Newsom rise to the occasion and prove that he’s more than just a pretty face? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for certain—this is a debate you won’t want to miss!
