DeSantis v Newsom: the presidential match-up that isn’t

Hindustan Times  

PICTURE IT: two of America’s most powerful governors take the debate stage. Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, and Ron DeSantis, his Republican counterpart in Florida, spend 90 minutes trying to convince viewers that their own state represents the very best of America, and that their relative youth and respective flavour of crusading politics are just what the country needs. During an interview last month in Los Angeles, your correspondent asked Mr Newsom why Americans should watch a debate between one presidential candidate, and a governor who is not running for anything. Should Mr DeSantis prove unable to keep up with Mr Newsom, who seems to relish his new role as Mr Biden’s attack dog, his presidential hopes may sink further. When the governor of Florida spoke at the California Republican Party’s convention in September, he told the crowd: “The California model represents more American decline.” He wants to “own the lib”, predicts Mr Newsom, “and talk about homelessness in California and everyone getting U-Hauls to drive to Florida”.
