Biden Breaks From Harris on Ron DeSantis, Praises Him For Doing a ‘Great Job’ With Hurricanes

President Joe Biden praised Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for doing a “great job” dealing with Hurricanes Helene and Milton on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris criticized him in harsh terms.

On Monday, Harris accused DeSantis of “playing political games” after NBC News reported that he had not been taking her calls ahead of Milton making landfall.

“It is selfish and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do,” she submitted.

DeSantis has since responded by professing not to have been aware of Harris’s supposed efforts to reach out to him as well as by asserting that Harris had never played any role in the Biden administration’s efforts to help the Sunshine State prepare for or recover from storms in the past.

“She has no role in this process. I’m in contact with the President of the United States. I’m in contact with the FEMA director, I’m obviously managing all of our state agencies, we’re supporting all our local government,” continued DeSantis. “She’s the first one who’s trying to politicize the storm, and she’s doing that just because of her campaign. I don’t have time for political games. I’ve got people whose lives are on the line, I’ve got people whose homes and possessions are on the line, and we are focused 100% on that mission.”

On Tuesday, Biden was asked about DeSantis and whether he was being “cooperative” as both Florida and the federal government brace for Milton.

“The governor of Florida has been cooperative. He said he’s gotten all that he needs. I talked to him again yesterday and I said, ‘No, you’re doing a great job. It’s being, all being done well. We thank you for it,'” said Biden. “Every governor, every governor from Florida to North Carolina has been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledged what this team is doing. And they’re doing an incredible job. We’ve got a lot more to do.”
