DeSantis and Harris Clash Over Hurricane Response

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for attempting to involve herself in Florida's hurricane response, accusing her of politicizing the situation for her campaign. DeSantis emphasized his collaboration with President Joe Biden and FEMA, asserting that Harris has never previously offered support during such crises. Harris, in contrast, accused DeSantis of playing political games and labeled his refusal to take her calls as irresponsible. Amidst this, former President Donald Trump also criticized Harris, accusing her of a media blitz during the hurricanes, and spread misinformation about the Biden administration's response. President Biden condemned misinformation about the storms as dangerous and un-American, while continuing to support Florida's relief efforts with DeSantis.
