Following this year’s dangerous storms, President Joe Biden does explore northern Florida on Sunday to assess the damage and meet with patients and first responders.
He addressed the disaster both before and after Milton’s ashore and pledged full national support for state search and rescue and cleanup operations, as the administration had done due to Hurricane Helene.
The lead-up to Milton did shake some discussion involving Biden, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL ), and Vice President Kamala Harris.
DeSantis refused to accept several calls from Harris following the previous wind, Hurricane Helene, and back of Milton’s land. The DeSantis team argued that the vice president was seeking to politicize the situation, and she, in turn, told reporters that the governor’s actions were” selfish” and “irresponsible”.
” For , Kamala Harris , to try to say that my only focus on the people of Florida is somehow selfish is delusional”, DeSantis added during a Monday night interview on Fox News. ” She has no part in this. In fact, she’s been evil chairman for 3 1/2 times. I’ve dealt with a number of winds under this leadership. She has not made a single contribution to any of these efforts, but I believe her attempt to be selfish is selfish.
According to White House leaders, Biden and DeSantis have remained in touch throughout the week. The Biden administration responded to the country’s requests for assistance ahead of the storm, the governor of Florida told investigators.
DeSantis’s office did not specify whether the government would visit Biden on Sunday to review storm damage. When the leader visited Florida to assess the damage brought on by Hurricane Ian, he actually joined Biden in 2022.
Biden stated on Friday that he would join with DeSantis if he were to be completely this trip. ” If he’s available, yeah”, Biden told reporters. ” He’s been quite joint. We got on quite, quite well”.
Biden and DeSantis have been making a front for wind comment, but the senator has criticised former president Donald Trump for spreading “libel of sits” about the hurricane response.

” Mr. President Trump”, Biden said Thursday. ” Past President Trump. Find a life, person. Support these people”.
Trump and his supporters continue to make allegations that the media have repeatedly refuted. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, for example, has prohibited using planes to airlift hurricane victims from storm areas, devoting$ 750 to federal aid to housing illegal immigrants, and has prohibited federal relief for victims.
