"Biden's Advisors Concerned as Newsom Plans to Debate DeSantis, Raising Shadow Campaign Worries"

California Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to debate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has reportedly angered the White House, with some of President Biden and Vice President Harris's key advisors viewing it as a distraction and disrespectful to their campaign. While Newsom's team sees the potential gains of a governor-on-governor faceoff, Biden's camp is concerned that the spectacle could help DeSantis and potentially position Newsom for a future presidential bid. The debate, set to be moderated by Sean Hannity, is seen as a nuisance by some insiders, while others believe it could hurt DeSantis's chances. The debate is scheduled to be televised on Fox News, and topics will include immigration, crime, and schooling.
