Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Democrat Charlie Crist went toe-to-toe on abortion, Hurricane Ian response, the state’s ongoing culture wars and the rising Republican’s future political ambitions in an hour-long debate that produced a handful of notable moments that may just yet fire up Democrats in this state.
Even though the candidates have only one scheduled debate ahead of election day, Democrat challenger Charlie Crist is now called for two more debates.
Crist writes: I’m inviting @RonDeSantisFL to two more debates. An hour was apparently not enough time for him to answer simple questions, like whether he’ll stay in the job for 4 years or if he’ll ban abortion outright. I’m happy to give him a do-over since Floridians deserve answers.
