Biden Praises DeSantis Again, Undercuts ‘Selfish’ Kamala

For the second time this week, President Joe Biden praised Governor Ron DeSantis’ disaster response, once again undercutting his Vice President and dispelling her criticisms of the Florida Governor.

In a statement widely circulated by legacy media, Vice President Kamala Harris claimed Monday that DeSantis had been “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish” for refusing a phone call with her amid preparations for Hurricane Milton. Shortly after, DeSantis rejected the claims, saying he was unaware that she had even reached out.

Following a televised address Wednesday, a reporter asked Biden about the spat.

“All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Gov. DeSantis. He’s been very gracious,” Biden replied. “He’s thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing. And I think that’s important.”

Biden’s comments Wednesday marked the second time this week that he has contradicted Harris. Asked by reporters Tuesday for his opinion on DeSantis’ performance, the President offered high praise.

“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 all being done well and we thank you for it,” Biden said. “There was a rough start in some places, but every governor, every governor – from Florida to North Carolina – has been fully cooperative and supportive.”

While Harris has attacked DeSantis in the media for allegedly turning down her phone call, the Governor and Biden have confirmed that they spoke to coordinate the disaster response.

“I’ve had storms under both President Trump and President Biden, and I’ve worked well with both of them,” DeSantis told Fox News on Tuesday. “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.”

According to a Wednesday night report by NBC News, at least one source close to Biden attempted to do damage control following his comments. The unnamed individual claimed that Biden “wasn’t tracking a specific back-and-forth,” adding that he was “focused on the response itself.”

The nearly week-long spat comes as Harris trails former President Donald Trump in Florida polling. According to a New York Times poll published this week, Harris currently trails Trump by 14 points in the state.

“Why, all of a sudden, is she trying to parachute in and inject herself when she’s never shown any interest in the past? We know it’s because of politics; we know it’s because of her campaign,” DeSantis said Tuesday.

“Harris is not even in the chain of command. She has no role in this. The idea that I should be, like, worrying about her when I’m focused on the task at hand is just quite frankly absurd.”
