California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis turned their feud over blue and red state policies personal Thursday, clashing for more than 90 minutes over crime, taxes, COVID-19 pandemic policies, immigration, book bans and other divisive issues in an unorthodox debate that both men hoped would propel their national political ambitions.
The forum in Georgia between the liberal Democrat and the conservative Republican, hosted by Sean Hannity on Fox News, culminated months of shadow boxing between the two governors, who have used their states' opposing partisan approaches to governing to attack each other.
Newsom was on the defensive for much of the debate as Hannity focused on taxes, crime, late-term abortions, California's high gas prices and other topics on which conservatives believe they have the upper hand politically. |
