DeSantis looks to frame debate with Newsom as showdown with a potential 2024 rival
California Governor Gavin Newsom plans to use a televised debate with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to defend President Biden's record and counter DeSantis' "misinformation machine."
Speculation is growing that Newsom may be positioning himself for a presidential bid in 2024 or 2028 if Biden decides against running.
DeSantis sees the debate as an opportunity to challenge Newsom and potentially position himself as a rival for the presidency.
