NEWSOM vs. DESANTIS

Although he started out sounding nervous, by midway through the 90-minute election season extravaganza, DeSantis had found his footing.

The Florida governor brought visual aids to help with his argumentation. In defending his Parental Rights in Education law, dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay bill,” DeSantis showed a copy of a page from a children’s book showing examples of explicit sexual acts, partly censored for the TV audience.
