DeSantis, Newsom Battle on Debate Stage in Red v. Blue Showdown

The highly anticipated showdown between the Governors of Florida and California played out exactly the way you would have anticipated it would.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pointed out the contrast between his policies, and the policies that Gavin Newsom has implemented, leading to a mass exodus from California.

For his part, Newsom spent a lot of time ducking the questions posed to him by KTRH's Sean Hannity.

You can check out some of the highlights below.

So, who won the debate? It depends on who you ask. Democrats will naturally say Newsom did. But RNC Committeeman Robin Armstrong says Newsom had an issue with telling the truth.

"He's a slick guy who knows how to lie," Armstrong said.

So, at the end of the day, did his performance last night help DeSantis, who trails former President Donald Trump by a large margin in the 2024 GOP Presidential primary?

"I don't think it will be very helpful. Trump has such a huge lead," Armstrong stated.
