Kron fours 8 on wallace shares the formal debate offer that newsom sent to desantis and how desantis responded. Ron desantis since theyre claiming this freedom gospel leadership matters. They are doing it wrong here. No wonder why weve had so many people moved from San Francisco to florida. They have not shied away from attacking one another. And now california governor, democrat gavin newsom in florida, governor, republican president ial hopeful ron desantis say they are interested in the formal newsom. Desantis inperson debate. A Newsom Campaign spokesperson confirms the newsom team sent fox news channel. This 3 page letter proposing just how such a debate would work. First newsom is calling for the debate to air live this november on fox news moderated by conservative political commentator sean hannity per newsoms proposal. The debate would last 90 minutes with no Live Audience and no notes allowed for either candidate. Each would be allowed 90 seconds to answer questions. And another 90 seconds to respond to the other candidates answers during an interview with hannity on wednesday, desantis said he is interested but did not elaborate on the specific time or date. Desantis later wrote this on twitter. Quote, 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 game to talk about my plans to reverse a decline in this country anytime anywhere. Because ive the best vision for the future of our country. This is probably good for both of them and the sense that they both want a Higher National profile Loyola Law School professor jessica levinson, i dont think that a lot of independent voters will be swayed one way or another. But i think this is a way of trying to shore up support for both of them. Both their base. Governor newsom is not running for president , but hes running this kind of shadow National Campaign where he wants to continue to be a national figure. Governor desantis is flagging in the polls and he is running for president. But hes not gaining an enormous amount of traction against former president trump. So i think for both of them to be elevated to this point where theyre having a debate that many of us are anticipating on national tv is probably a win by tom wallace. Kron 4 news.
