President Biden and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) say they have set aside their political differences as they work together on what's sure to be a long recovery fromHurricane Ian that cut across the Sunshine State last week, leaving catastrophic wreckage in its wake. The frequent sparring partners and potential 2024 rivals held a joint appearance Wednesday in Fort Myers, projecting a sense of unity and vowing to help the hardest-hit parts of the state rebuild. "Today we have one job and only one job. That is to make sure the people of Florida get everything they need to fully recover," Biden said as DeSantis stood behind him. Asked about DeSantis's early disaster recovery efforts, Biden said: "I think he's done a good job. We have very different political philosophies, but we've worked hand in glove." Biden and DeSantis emphasized the cooperation between the federal government and state and local officials, highlighting emergency declarations and the allocation of federal resources that allowed for a prompt response to the storm before it even made landfall. "We were very fortunate to have good coordination with the White House and FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Agency] from the very beginning of this," DeSantis said. Read more here. |
