The Economist: “Image it: two of America’s strongest governors take the talk stage. One is sporting copious quantities of hair gel. The opposite could, or could not, be sporting lifted boots to seem taller. Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, and Ron DeSantis, his Republican counterpart in Florida, spend 90 minutes attempting to persuade viewers that their very own state represents the easiest of America, and that their relative youth and respective taste of crusading politics are simply what the nation wants. Donald Trump is heckling each males in ALL CAPS on Fact Social, from his armchair at Mar-a-Lago, having determined to not search a second time period. Joe Biden is wanting ahead to retirement, safe within the perception that his presidency was a bridge to the subsequent technology. Sean Hannity, of Fox Information, does a satisfactory impression of a impartial moderator.”
“In one other universe this might have been a prime-time debate throughout the 2024 presidential marketing campaign. As an alternative, Messrs DeSantis and Newsom will face off on Fox Information on November thirtieth for causes unclear even to the governors themselves.”
