The stage is set for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to face off against California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a 90-minute debate hosted by FOX News' Sean Hannity next month, and comparisons between the two renowned politicians' states are already swirling.
In one corner, Newsom hails California as the "true freedom state," pointing to his crackdowns on some school districts who sought to censor materials they deemed inappropriate for students.
In the other, DeSantis points to the number of people fleeing the Golden State for Florida and touts his record of protecting parents' rights and creating the anti-California.
