Florida governor debate: Gillum and DeSantis exchange sharp personal attacks over racism, immigration and corruption as campaign gets nast

Florida gubernatorial candidates Andrew Gillum and Ron DeSantis have exchanged sharp personal barbs in a searing second — and final — debate before voters take to the polls next month to determine which candidate will lead their state for the next four years. The pair dragged one another through the mud on the debate stage at Broward College in Davie, Florida, where they were asked to describe their plan for the state on issues ranging from the environment, immigration, healthcare, and education. “We have seen the collapsing of our political discourse,” Mr Gillum, the mayor of Tallahassee, said early in the debate when asked about a string of pipe bombs that had been sent to the offices and homes of Democratic leaders across the country on Wednesday.
