As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prepares for Wednesday’s second Republican presidential debate, his campaign confirmed Monday that a long-discussed debate with California Gov. Gavin Newsom has been scheduled for Nov. 30. 

The two governors have repeatedly used each other as foils on issues such as guns, abortion, immigration and the economy. Fox News host Sean Hannity will moderate the 90-minute debate in Georgia, with the event airing on Hannity’s 9 p.m. television show. 

Newsom called for a debate when he appeared on Hannity’s show in June, after Florida flew a group of migrants from Texas to California. DeSantis later said on Hannity’s show that he would participate. 

DeSantis and other Republican presidential candidates will debate Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
