Another funny aspect of this - DeSantis mentions that a big boost for his campaign was Fox News hosting the 2018 gov debate at that year's Sunshine Summit. The network put candidate facts onscreen that showed "exactly the contrast we were looking to draw." — PolitiTweet.org

DeSantis mentions this 2022 event (the Sunshine Summit) in his book, but says only that recommended "that conservative media moderate the debates" between candidates. He went further. Conservative media moderated - and only conservative media was allowed in room. — PolitiTweet.org
