Ron DeSantis and Kamala Harris have exchanged words through mainstream media. Harris stated in the news media that DeSantis did not respond to her calls during Hurricane Helene. She says that such an act is despicable and selfish. On the other hand, DeSantis says that his focus is singularly on the people of Florida. He has spoken to President Biden, FEMA, and all the other relevant organizations during Helene and Hurricane Milton.
DeSantis also suggested that Kamala is using this moment to energize her faltering campaign and that she has never called him for any other Florida hurricane that has made landfall since 2021. Ron DeSantis says that he has coordinated with the same people without problem throughout Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’s nearly four-year term, with no input at all from Kamala.
