As Hurricane Milton approached Florida, President Biden hosted a public briefing with a number of high officials. Harris, appearing via Zoom, seemed distracted and had to remind off-screen staff that it was a live broadcast.
Harris criticized Gov. Ron DeSantis for not taking her calls regarding the hurricane, but he effectively countered by highlighting her lack of involvement in disaster relief.
In what appeared to be a damage control effort, Harris released a video showing her speaking with St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch, but it lacked useful information regarding the disaster response.
The entire episode depicted Harris not as a serious player in disaster management but as someone more focused on political optics and personal image during a crisis.
