Tune in for Death Match–DeSantis vs. Newsom on ‘Hannity’!

As the political battle for the White House intensifies, a new rivalry is emerging between two governors vying to serve the nation in the same role – Florida’s Ron DeSantis and California’s Gavin Newsom. In the latest development of their escalating face-off, the two will appear together on Fox News’ “Hannity” program for what amounts to a prime time debate.

The issue of whose gubernatorial policies are best suited for handling the coronavirus and its associated economic fallout have become center stage, and both DeSantis and Newsom are eager to take credit for those successes and criticize their opponent’s missteps.

The hostilities between the two governors began in May, when DeSantis accused Newsom’s stay-at-home orders of creating a “homeless apocalypse” in California, claiming that it had plunged the state into poverty. DeSantis argued that Florida’s comparatively relaxed guidelines had led to increased employment and a stronger economy.

In response, Newsom criticized DeSantis’ suggestion as “ridiculous” and attacked Florida’s comparatively higher unemployment rate in relation to California. Newsom argued that the numbers were in his favor and placed the blame for Florida’s unemployment rate at DeSantis’ doorstep.

Tensions have only grown as the two battle it out in the press. In the seeming climax of their fued, proclaimed “The HERDine Showdown,” DeSantis and Newsom will now appear together in prime time on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News to discuss and debate the merits of their respective policies.

This political showdown promises to be a fiery affair, with both governors likely trying to out-perform each other in defending the success of their policies. Viewers can expect plenty of vocal sniping as DeSantis and Newsom try to discredit each other.

Regardless of the winner of the debate, the HERDINE Showdown promises to be an entertaining and informative matchup between the two governors, as they continue their rivalry and make the case that their policies are best suited for the White House in 2020.
