I appreciate them all being here tonight.
So the debate is, in fact, over.
It was a chance, again, for moderator Sean Hannity to contrast Florida more favorably than California.
Ron DeSantis & Gavin NewsomGetty
Ask the folks at Disney about freedom and free enterprise, Newsom said.
We saved a lot of jobs.
You had Disney closed inexplicably for a year.
But Newsom did not take the bait.
Joe Biden will be the nominee in a matter of weeks, he said.
He then said, The economy is booming.
5.2% GDP growth in the last quarter.
Those are facts you dont hear onFox News.
Ronald Reagan, Newsom noted, opposed the initiative.
Newsom chided DeSantis for being on a banning binge.
I dont like the way that you demean and humiliate people you disagree with, Ron.
California is a sanctuary state.
DeSantis also has taken credit for sending migrants to California from Texas.
You hear nothing from Ron DeSantis, he said.
Im the only guy here thats a border state governor.
Youre trolling folks and trying to find migrants to play political games to get some news and attention.
Youre trying to out-Trump Trump.
And by the way, how is that going for you?
You are down 41 points in your own home state.
He accused DeSantis of being on a banning binge and a cultural purge.
The debate is taking place in Alpharetta, GA, sans a studio audience.
