Newsom's running. He is just waiting until Biden is no longer running for 2024. He won't challenge sitting-president Biden directly, he's too much of a party person for that. He's been supportive of Biden, getting the brownie points for that.

Good move for DeSantis, for both, as they will likely be the 2024 nominees and this gives both an independent forum separate from Biden and Trump to share their plans, criticism, etc.

Has Trump even commented on it yet? Usually he’s obsessed with all things DeSantis.

The key point here is that he is planning to do this in November! We just started August. DeSantis thinks he can make it through August and October?

How cute! One Lilliputian taking on another Lilliputian instead of going after Gulliver!

No one is likely to drop out before the first caucus or primaries.

Love the poster, perfect and all Trump will be able to do is troll them, throw out insults, name calling, etc. Consider how bad that heckling will look against standing governors holding a presidential debate, polite, respectful, knowledgeable, and detailed in content? Trump might score points with always Trump folks but I think he'll compare badly across the board with American voters.

Now, if moderator Hannity will keep his mouth shut and let DeSantis and Newsom talk.

DeSantis vs Newsom

You can forget about Newsome for next year, at least. He has been so totally dirtied by the Reedley incident he doesn’t dare peek out from under his rock. If he does, he has absolutely nothing to protect himself with the Chinese connection. And since he isn’t running for the California governorship next election, his words, he is taking himself out of circulation. By hitting the news now, all he is is a side show to deflect Biden’s problems.

Why would Trump comment on two flies debating.

He’ll run once and if Biden is out. But you are definitely right in that Newsom has skeletons that haven’t had national scrutiny. He’s an experienced but failing governor. Maybe he’ll blame state Democrats but he’s got a lot of explaining to do.

LOL! Trump has already publicly said that he doesn’t plan to debate anybody - rival GOPer or Dem - so he probably doesn’t want to call attention to DeSantis’ willingness to debate.

I wish Trump hadn’t spent months (and a lot of money) with personal attacks on DeSantis even before he was running, because Trump unnecessarily alienates people who might otherwise have been significant supporters. DeSantis hasn’t attacked Trump and probably just plans to ignore him as much as possible, but it’s unfortunate for all sides that Trump took the personal attack strategy from the very start.

DUsher appears to be a fathead. If you are unwilling to go against anyone simply because they are not also running for Pres you are not a leader.
ANYONE acting like a jerk is fair game, and your not pointing that out is just cowardly.

Why comment when the Meatball is making a bigger joke of himself.
