Florida Gov. and GOP presidential candidate Ron DeSantis will take time out from debating fellow Republicans to take on a Democrat, California Gov. Gavin Newsom in late November.
Fox News host Sean Hannity will moderate the "red state vs. blue state" debate on November 30th in Georgia airing on Fox News Channel in Hannity's 9 p.m. Eastern time slot.
Nathan Click, a spokesman for Newsom, said the California governor agreed to the debate provided there was no cheering section of “hype videos.”
“We want a real debate,” Click said. “Not a circus.”
The two governors have publicly feuded and criticized each other's policies over the past few years.
DeSantis is scheduled to appear in the second debate of Republican candidates for the 2024 presidential nomination tomorrow, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
610WIOD will carry the debate and stream it live Wednesday night.
