- The stage is set for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to face off against California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a 90-minute debate hosted by FOX News’ Sean Hannity next month, and comparisons between the two renowned politicians’ states are already swirling.
- In one corner, Newsom hails California as the “true freedom state,” pointing to his crackdowns on some school districts who sought to censor materials they deemed inappropriate for students.
- In the other, DeSantis points to the number of people fleeing the Golden State for Florida and touts his record of protecting parents’ rights and creating the anti-California.
