DeSantis Refuses VP Harris's 'Political' Calls as Hurricane Milton Nears
Oct 7, 2024, 06:21 PM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is declining to take calls from Vice President Kamala Harris regarding hurricane relief, stating that the communication "seemed political." A DeSantis aide remarked, "Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn't answer." DeSantis's office confirmed that he has not spoken with President Biden or Vice President Harris but has been in direct contact with the FEMA Administrator. This comes as Hurricane Milton, anticipated to be the biggest hurricane of DeSantis's tenure, approaches Florida. The White House Press Secretary commented on the situation, noting that it's the governor's choice whether to respond to outreach from the President and Vice President.
