Following the second Republican primary debate Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis challenged former president Donald Trump to a one-on-one debate.
“You know what, maybe we can say, since the former president didn’t come here, maybe he’d be willing to do one with you and I,” DeSantis told FOX News personality Sean Hannity following the debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. “I think he owes it to our voters to come and make the case.”
“You’re now challenging, so this is going to be Hannity one-on-one debate central?” the FOX host asked him.
“Let’s do it,” said DeSantis.
“Here’s the thing, though,” the governor added. “[Trump] owes it to the voters to come and make the case. No one’s entitled to anything. You know, you can say, ‘oh, there’s some poll months before’, no. You gotta make the case, you owe it to the voters.”
“I think that that’s what we were able to do and there were some important issues that were discussed tonight,” DeSantis continued:
There’s also others that I know you and I’ve talked about that weren’t discussed. But at the end of the day, I think the thing that was clear for this, there’s a lot of talk, a lot of people have good things to say. I’m the guy that’s done it. In Florida, we did everything I promised.
