The DeSantis/Newsom live-chat
Like you've got something better to do
Tonight is a rare moment of inter-league play — Republican Governor Ron DeSantis (Florida) and Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom (California) will face off at a Fox News debate moderated by Sean Hannity. It starts at 9PM EST. Friend-of-Tusk Professor Julia Azari will be joining me for a debate live-blog tonight, hosted here on a Substack Chat.
Is this a preview of the 2028 presidential race? A chance for two ideologies to clash and discuss ideas for the nation’s future? A silly moment of vanity that will be forgotten within hours? Why not all three? Tune in tonight to find out.
So Gary Newsom is sparring DeSantis on Fox today.
DeSantis will put up no resistance, but how will Fox do? Hannity isn't a much better debater but they might decide to tune out for commercials every time Newsom speaks.
Help, it's my birthday but both NY basketball teams are playing teams so pitiful I may have no choice but to tune in. (I did not start "Fargo" yet either but from the recaps it sounds like a complete hoot.)
