ABOVE VIDEO: The Newsom v. DeSantis face-off is coming
(FOX NEWS) – Watch the debate between California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on “Hannity” on Fox News Channel at 9 pm ET.
Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has long been at odds with California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, slamming the Golden State’s leader for turning California into a “petri dish for leftism.”
DeSantis and Newsom are two of the most prominent governors in the country, and repeatedly spar over key political issues stretching from the pandemic to rampant drug use in the state.
Newsom argues he is the leader of the “true freedom state” that fights against “small men in big offices,” while DeSantis touts how Californians fled the state to Florida to escape “woke” ideology run amuck in classrooms and in the state’s capital.
“In California, they locked kids out of school, and they had the lowest … percentage of in-person learning of any state in the country of the 2020-21 school year because the teachers union runs that state,” DeSantis said last year of Newsom’s strict lockdowns during the pandemic, according to the Sacramento Bee.
DeSantis has criticized Newsom repeatedly for his strict pandemic lockdowns that shuttered schools and throttled businesses, arguing the restrictions forced many Californians to the state to Florida, where DeSantis reopened the economy just months after the onset of the pandemic.
