Opinion: Douglas Schoen: DeSantis-Newsom debate could give a real boost to both governors
No rivalry embodies the current divide in American politics more than the one between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and California Governor Gavin Newsom. The two big-state governors, diametrically opposed to what the other stands for, have spent the past year escalating their attacks on one another – and soon, their contention will come to a head in a much anticipated live debate.
Likewise, Biden’s age, declining mental acuity, and stubbornly low job approval, along with Vice President Kamala Harris’ deep unpopularity, have set the stage for someone like Newsom to mount an eleventh-hour campaign. It’s reasonable that the Florida Governor sees a showdown with the highest-profile Democratic governor in the country as an opportunity to – once again – resurrect his flailing presidential campaign. After being considered an early frontrunner, DeSantis trails Trump by 38-points nationally, according to the RealClearPolitics average, and is behind by 20-plus-points in the all-important early primary states.
