The progressive Democrat argued DeSantis’s willingness to debate him shows he’s “unqualified” for the Oval Office. 

"The fact that he took this debate, the fact that he took the bait in relation to this debate, shows he's completely unqualified to be president of the United States," Newsom told Fox 11 Los Angeles, adding, "Why is he debating a guy who's not even running for president when he's running for president?"

He even mocked how DeSantis’ team promoted the debate after it was announced on Monday. 

"This guy is distracted, so I don't know that he has it in his heart," Newsom said. "Here's my personal opinion about Ron DeSantis — he regrets running for president. He made a huge mistake. He listened to his consultants, he bought his own hype, he had this little God complex… He bought into all this stuff, and he quickly regretted it, but he's stuck."
