Battle Of The Governors: Sean Hannity To Host Epic Showdown Between DeSantis And Newsom

FOX News Media has recently announced that its esteemed anchor, Sean Hannity, will preside over a political debate between Republican presidential candidate and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, and Democrat California Governor Gavin Newsom.

This red vs. blue state debate is set to air at 9 p.m. ET on November 30 in Georgia, marking the first occasion these two influential governors will engage in a public debate.

Hannity expressed his anticipation for the event, stating, "I’m looking forward to providing viewers with an informative debate about the everyday issues and governing philosophies that impact the lives of every American."

The idea for this debate was first proposed during Hannity's exclusive interview with Governor Newsom in June, with Governor DeSantis officially agreeing to participate in July. "Let’s get it done. Just tell me when and where – we’ll do it," DeSantis responded after Newsom's agreement.

Governor Newsom, who has stirred speculation about a potential 2024 presidential run, has consistently challenged DeSantis to debate on various issues. The first challenge was issued last September concerning migrant flights to Martha's Vineyard, a liberal enclave in Massachusetts. This move instigated a broader discussion on sanctuary immigration policies.
