DeSantis Praised by Biden Amid Hurricane Dispute

The ongoing tensions between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Vice President Kamala Harris have intensified amid Hurricane Milton's impact. Harris accused DeSantis of playing political games by not responding to her calls regarding hurricane preparations, while DeSantis dismissed her role in the efforts, focusing instead on his coordination with President Biden and FEMA. Biden has praised DeSantis for his hurricane response, further complicating Harris's criticisms and underscoring the political dynamics at play. Harris has suggested that DeSantis's actions are politically motivated, while DeSantis maintains his focus is on the welfare of Florida's residents. The dispute highlights the challenges of disaster management being intertwined with political agendas, with both parties accusing each other of leveraging the situation for political gain. Despite the political friction, federal and state coordination for hurricane response continues, with Biden offering his personal support to DeSantis.
