The bitter political rivalry between President Joe Biden and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took shape in a public snubbing, as DeSantis’ team insist that there’s ‘too much work’ to do
Governor Ron DeSantis announced that he will not meet with President Joe Biden today, as the leader of the country travelled to visit Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Idalia.
“In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts,” DeSantis spokesman Jeremy Redfern said in a statement.
Idalia made landfall Wednesday morning along Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 3 storm, causing widespread flooding and damage before moving north to drench Georgia and the Carolinas. Biden is set to fly to Florida on Saturday to tour the damage personally.
