Before Ron DeSantis could unveil his “poop map,” Gov. Gavin Newsom team’s frustration with Sean Hannity and his crew centered on his promises to them that he would be a fair moderator, only to repeatedly sandbag the governor and give the entire affair a 2-on-1 dynamic — as they saw it.
“The debate was rigged, and Newsom still won,” Newsom adviser Sean Clegg said.Newsom himself told people as the debate ended that he’d had fun — sharing that feeling on X where he added that he could have kept going for longer.
A DeSantis aide said California first partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom was the one who stepped in and ended the debate on her husband’s behalf after Hannity invited the two governors to go deeper into overtime. A second person on the ground confirmed that.
“Gavin Newsom got beat so badly last night his wife literally had to throw in the towel for him. It was embarrassing,” DeSantis spokesperson Andrew Romeo said.

I didn't watch the debate but the media does the Democrats no favors by never challenging them on big things, so when they go up against an actual opponent they have no defense against anything they say because they've never even considered those arguments.
@CapitolFrank6mos6MO
Excellent point! Being challenged is a good way to grow.

Nothing is more telling of how it went than Jennifer stepping in to protect her husband from the beating
@YearningPretzels6mos6MO
That’s brutal. His wife had to save him.
@EuphoricP0pularVot36mos6MO
It was an act of compassion. DeSantis was wiping the floor with the Newsom/Trump team.

I'm still MAGA and I have no problem fully crediting DeSantis for absolutely WRECKING Newsom. It was awesome. Well done Ron!
I really hope that Trump and DeSantis can unite somehow to take on the Left - because they would be an unbeatable team....
Newsom camp in full damage control mode.
And a Newsom staffer admits that California schools give "porn" to kids
