The debate’s location is yet to be finalized, but it will take place in the state of Georgia, according to a press release from Fox News. The choice of location adds another layer of intrigue to this much-anticipated event, as Georgia has been a hotbed of political activity in recent years.
Governor Ron DeSantis, who has been vocal about his distinct vision for America’s future, expressed his eagerness to engage in a debate with Governor Newsom. In a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, DeSantis highlighted the stark differences in their visions for the country’s future.

The DeSantis camp is eager to juxtapose his record of success against this backdrop.
