DeSantis Asks Fox News Host To Tee Up Debate With Trump
Ron DeSantis is issuing a challenge to his rival Donald Trump.
On Wednesday, the Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidateย Ron DeSantisย asked Fox News anchorย Sean Hannityย to arrange a debate between himself and former Presidentย Donald Trump.
Recently, Hannity moderated a long-awaited debate between DeSantis and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The Fox anchor seemed to welcome the idea of a similar event involving Trump before asking if DeSantis was confident Joe Biden would be the Democrat party’s nominee for president.
โWell, Sean, I donโt think weโve spoken since that debate, and the reaction that Iโve gotten has been incredible in terms of obviously being able to show that freedom works and the California models of failure, what that means for the country. But people appreciated the way you set it up, and they said it was the most substantive debate that theyโve seen in this entire election cycle, and so kudos to you for doing it,โ began DeSantis before throwing down the gauntlet. โSo Iโm glad we were able to get that done, and just know if you want to do other debates โย Nikki Haleyย and me, Iโm in, Donald Trump, and me, Iโm in โ so just say the word. Youโve shown that you can do it in a way that I think really helps the voters. So Iโm game. Just let me know.โ
โOkay, those are two. Do you have any more on your list? Maybeย Joe Manchin, Heโs going on a two month tour. Anybody else on your list that youโd like to do?โ replied an amused Hannity.
Trump has dominated the polls and so far has refused to participate in any Republican primary debates.
Theย surveysย tested how Biden would perform against the Republican frontrunnerย โ whom Biden defeated in the 2020 election โ and found that Trump would beat him in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
