TALLAHASSEE — Florida’s political world erupted over the weekend on Twitter and other social media with rumors, confirmations and cancellations of debate appearances by Gov. Ron DeSantis against his Democratic opponent, U.S. Rep. Charlie Crist.
When the dust settled, it was confirmed that DeSantis had agreed to a debate on a West Palm Beach station Oct. 12 but not to the larger, more widely broadcast and long-running “Before You Vote” Oct. 20 debate.
Organizers said they were told that DeSantis and the campaign are firm on their decision to not participate.
