<p>The team for California Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gavin-newsom" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gavin Newsom</a> appears agitated that Florida Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ron-desantis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ron DeSantis</a> accepted his debate challenge.</p>
<p>Newsom had sought to raise his national profile for months by attacking the now-Republican presidential candidate and has repeatedly challenged him to debate.</p>
<p>During an interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity in June, Newsom said that he was &#8220;all in&#8221; to debate, that he could go for up to three hours, and he only needed “one day’s notice with no notes.”</p>
<p>DeSantis accepted the debate challenge this week during an interview with Hannity. &#8220;Let’s get it done,&#8221; DeSantis said. &#8220;Just tell me when and where we’ll do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>The proposal that Newsom sent to Fox News makes the first date that he is available to debate three months out, contrary to his claim that he only needed &#8220;one day&#8217;s notice.&#8221;</p>
<p>In their separate proposals, both sides have agreed:</p>
<ul>
<li>Hannity is the moderator.</li>
<li>The debate lasts 90 minutes.</li>
<li>No help from staff.</li>
<li>Both governors get equal speaking time.</li>
<li>Governors are not allowed to interrupt each other.</li>
<li>Closing statements are two minutes long.</li>
</ul>

<p>Where the governors disagree:</p>
<ul>
<li>DeSantis <a href="https://www.politico.com/f/?id=00000189-c57f-dee7-a7ab-ed7f7b460000" target="_blank" rel="noopener">does not</a> want any opening remarks and instead proposes that each governor can submit a two-minute video that would be aired before the event.</li>
<li>Newsom does <a href="https://twitter.com/ShaneGoldmacher/status/1686921088507228160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">not want</a> an audience, while DeSantis does and proposed splitting tickets evenly.</li>
<li>The two proposed different states for the event &#8212; with Georgia being the only state the sides have in common.</li>
<li>DeSantis proposed much earlier dates for the debate, but also included a late date that matches the earliest date that Newsom offered.</li>
</ul>
<p>Newsom&#8217;s team, apparently unable to handle a live audience, lashed out at DeSantis when they saw his debate proposal.</p>
<p>“What a joke,” said a Newsom spokesperson to POLITICO. “Desantis’ counterproposal is littered with crutches to hide his insecurity and ineptitude — swapping opening statements with a hype video, cutting down the time he needs to be on stage, adding cheat notes and a cheering section.”</p>
<p>“Ron should be able to stand on his own two feet,” he added. “It’s no wonder Trump is kicking his a**.”</p>
<p>Most of what Newsom&#8217;s team said was false. DeSantis proposed the same length for the debate and the same two-minute closing statements. DeSantis did not propose being able to bring in notes and both sides would be allowed to have fans attend with equal ticket allotment.</p>
