President Joe Biden’s advisors are furious about Gavin Newsom’s plan to debate Ron DeSantis in the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign cycle, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a surprising development to come after the California governor challenged DeSantis to a one-on-one debate earlier this summer, White House sources revealed that Biden’s advisors are “angered” about the potential Newsom-DeSantis “spectacle.”

Also surprising are reports that some Biden staffers fear Newsom is running a “shadow 2024 campaign” against President Biden and that the Newsom-DeSantis debate is part of that shadow campaign.

    I’ve seen Newsom debate political opponents. If anybody can take DeSantis on, it’s him. He comes prepared and has an almost encyclopedic memory of current policy and politics.

      He can’t take DeSantis on because DeSantis will not show up, unless the platform they debate on is moderated in DeSantis’ favor.
