Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dodged questions about his 2024 presidential ambitions and called his Democratic challenger Charlie Crist an “old donkey” in a testy exchange at the candidates’ first and only gubernatorial debate.
Crist, a former Florida governor, repeatedly referenced DeSantis’ possible White House aspirations in the Monday night debate, where he tried to pin down the incumbent on whether he intends to serve out his entire four-year term if reelected.
“Why don’t you look in the eyes of the people of the state of Florida and say to them, if you’re reelected, you will serve a four-year term as governor?” Crist asked DeSantis.
DeSantis, a Republican, refused to answer Crist’s questions, violating the terms of the debate, but declared he’s set on defeating his 66-year-old challenger in the governor’s race.

Oh the idols and their feet of clay...
Focus on November not 2024. He does well in November than 2024 is next.
deSantis is FABULOUS!
For the moment, Desantis must play the Artful Dodger.
The media loves him.
Dodged?? Shouldn’t even have been a question.
“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis dodged questions about his 2024 presidential ambitions
‘
That question came from Crist. Crist was admonished by the moderator as both campaigns had agreed that questions would come only from the moderator.
As well he should have.
It is an astronomically STUPID debate question. What do we learn from two contestants in a “debate” from this? It is more Chris Wallace cake.
WON’T change a single vote.
Not ONE single vote.

“violating the terms of the debate, “
Nice try f-wad.
“It is an astronomically STUPID debate question. “
It wasn’t a debate question. See #8
Crist is well known throughout FL as 1.) a major pole smoking opportunist who worked for/with John Morgan trial lawyer ambulance chaser, obamaumao loser supporter, who never goes to court and lives off the 2k retainers of whiners,
and 2) the near continuous flipping of parties, JEB! protege loser, and then independent then in Congress as a Demonrat voting 100$ for his mack daddy bi pal obamaumao and for JoeBama. Crist is a desperate loser of a person— who divorced from his now silenced by divorce terms- billionairess former wife (who knew all about his wandering perversion outings and finally wised up). All is forgiven by the demonrats of FL who tolerated Gillum’s queer escapades and drug addiction. What are they tolerating in Crist?— even more plus a pointless debate point.
DeSantis will NOT be running except for 8 years following Trump II! MAGA!
Should have lied.
Democrats get extra creds for that.
That’s a dude right?
Obama did not finish his term before running.
Clinton did not finish his term before running.
But that is OK because they have a D after their name.
If a Republican had asked a Democrat in the same way, it would be called “harassment”
Article: “DeSantis, a Republican, refused to answer Crist’s questions, violating the terms of the debate”
DeSantis, a Republica, ignored Crist’s debate violations.
