DeSantis pledges to implement permanent tax cuts in only debate with Crist

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former Republican governor and now Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist sparred Monday night in a lively one-hour debate full of personal attacks and interrupted by raucous audience members interjecting jeers and name-calling.
 

While DeSantis and Crist presented different views on nearly every issue, DeSantis highlighted Florida’s strong economy and pledged to implement permanent tax cuts if elected to a second term.

In nearly every answer, Crist argued he would fight for “the right of women to choose to have an abortion” or claimed that DeSantis was running for president instead of governor.
