California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) team slammed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ ® counterproposal for a debate as a “joke” on Saturday, claiming that the Republican presidential candidate’s suggested rules are meant to “hide his insecurity and ineptitude.”
Just do it, newsom.
The 2 minute video is weird, but why object to a live audience? I’d rather see that than an empty room debate.
I’m actually over the live audience debates. I don’t need to be “told” when to cheer or when to boo by some audience of party loyalists and donors. Half of the time candidates are just playing to to audience and trying to get the biggest response and not really answering the question and often not engaging with the person next to them.
Honestly I think audiences should be setup like juries for these events. It makes a lot more sense to have an audience of mixed diversities and lifestyles react live in front of the whole country than allowing it to be a highschool popularity vote.
Remember when your teacher made everyone put their heads down when voting on something?
Maybe one side is seen as more likely to try to heckle the other? I think the governor of California wants it to be more in depth. The differences to me makes it look like the governor of Florida doesn’t want an in depth debate, just something flashy and fast.
Edited for tone, I’m trying to type nicer.

these people rub elbows more than you think this one stinks of an actual both sides bad vibe
DeSantis is a disgrace to every uniform.
Just thought of a great debate adjustment. Each side gets equal time, and every time they jump in and interrupt the person whose time it is, they get double that amount of time taken off their next turn…and their mic is cut entirely during that time. The amount of childish, unmoderated foot stomping and disrespect is absolutely ridiculous lately.
I’d like to add, that the mic isn’t cut out, precisely. Rather. What I would like to see is that the mic is instead piped into a speech-to-text generator so we can get subtitles.
Let the main pundit speak, but let us see the subtitles of the “no that’s not true” type bullshit.
