WEX Wakeup: Henry Kissinger dead at 100; DeSantis and Newsom to debate Thursday

#wexwakeup for Thursday, November 30☕☀️

Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, one of the most influential statesmen of the 20th century, has died at age 100. Kissinger served as secretary of state under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford from 1969 to 1977. While in the position, he played a central role in opening up relations with China, beginning detente with the Soviet Union, ending the war in Vietnam, assisting Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, navigating through the OPEC oil embargo, and assisting authoritarian regimes in crushing communist movements worldwide.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) will face off on Thursday in what will be a headline-grabbing debate, putting their respective states’ policy differences and leadership styles in the spotlight. The two will partake in a first-of-its-kind debate, airing live on Fox News from Alpharetta, Georgia.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called upon Gov. Greg Abbott to send ‘thousands of illegal immigrants’ to the states of 10 Democratic senators who recently circulated a letter opposing border security negotiations. “Governor Abbott, if you’re watching Sean Hannity tonight, do me a favor,” Graham said during an appearance on Hannity Wednesday. “Make it real to those 10 senators and their states what you’ve been dealing with in Texas. Instead of sending them all to New York, why don’t you look at the states in question.”
