Florida Republican presidential nominee Ron DeSantis and California Democrat Gavin Newsom face off in a gubernatorial race that can be described as a debate over who is more macho?– which is the ultimate virile – on the coverage of their freedoms.
The two men have governed their respective states since 2019 and have recently become embroiled in an escalating dispute. Although Newsom is still a presidential candidate, he is a key surrogate for President Biden. Fox News will host the release of the album. under the title “The Big Red Vs. ” Blue State Debate.
The debate to bring America’s culture wars to the forefront. Abortion. Homelessness. Transgender physical care. The reaction to the coronavirus pandemic. Health Policy for Undocumented Immigrants. Even drag shows, DEI rights, and Disney’s First Amendment.
Although conservative TV host Sean Hannity moderated the 90-minute showdown in Alpharetta, Georgia, a local credit to DeSantis, Newsom enjoyed the matchup after urging the Florida quarterback to go toe-to-toe.
The two men use each other’s states as punching bags. DeSantis portrays Newsom as too liberal for America, presiding over a failed state where homelessness and crime are rampant, citizens are forced to mask up and get vaccinated, and access to abortion and public assistance like Medicaid. It’s too easy, breaking society morally and financially.
In a fundraising video for his presidential campaign, DeSantis called California “the petri dish of American leftism,” adding that “whatever Biden does, he will drive and bring about the collapse of this country. This is not the long term we need. ” Florida shows a style of rebirth, a style of freedom.
Newsom called DeSantis a “pathetic little man” and argues that democracy itself is at stake in the presidential election. His political operation this year funded an ad in Florida in which Newsom told Sunshine State residents, “Freedom is under attack in your state. “»
He criticized DeSantis’ school policies that limit gender and sexuality education to schoolchildren, as well as legislation the Florida governor pushed through the legislature banning abortion after six weeks and limiting physical care similar to gender transition.
“Your Republican leaders are banning books, making it harder to vote, and restricting speech in classrooms,” Newsom said in his announcement. “Even criminalizing women and doctors. Join us in California, where we are still at large.
Newsom’s education and fitness policies are largely contrary to DeSantis’s. It expanded access to gender-affirming care for children and adults and is expanding Medicaid starting Jan. 1 to cover low-income undocumented immigrants. Backed by the Democratic-controlled state legislature in 2022, Newsom led an effort to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution and fought to prevent local school districts from restricting access to certain books.
While DeSantis devotes his resources to the presidential campaign, where he fights to maintain his second position against the Republican number one favorite, Donald Trump, Newsom counterattacked this month with another ad buy in Florida, this time focused on reproductive health and access to abortion . Array
The ad alleges that DeSantis criminalized doctors and women who had abortions after six weeks and claims they could be arrested “by order of Gov. Ron DeSantis. “
The two men face a monumental hurdle in their debate. Newsom will have to prove his loyalty to Biden, leader of the Democratic Party and genuine candidate next November, while pointing to points opposing DeSantis.
DeSantis, a wooden speaker struggling to connect with his audience, has faced complaints in Republican circles for a lackluster campaign. He will have to convince the Republican electorate that he is a formidable choice for Trump, with no primary mistakes.
The proxy war may only shape next year’s presidential campaign, but also the field of candidates for the White House in 2028.
Another hot factor we’re tracking is homelessness, given that about one-third of all homeless Americans live in California. DeSantis is expected to slam Newsom against Californians fleeing to less expensive living elsewhere, and add Florida. Newsom, meanwhile, will highlight the unprecedented investments he has made to address the humanitarian crisis (with no transparent effects yet).
