Ron DeSantis stated to reporters that he had no communication with President Biden following Hurricane Helene. However, Biden confirmed their conversation, praising DeSantis for his recovery efforts. DeSantis contrasted this with his experience with President Trump, suggesting ease of communication. Earlier, he stated he was in contact with the Biden administration during recovery efforts. DeSantis also did not communicate with Kamala Harris post-hurricane, refusing her calls and meetings, highlighting his selective engagement with officials from different parties.
Speaking alongside President Donald Trump from Alligator Alcatraz on Tuesday, DeSantis praised the commander in chief for wanting to be helpful for governors, while attacking the previous administration.
Biden confirmed the two had spoken, even offering praise for the governor for an incredible job with the Helene recovery effort.
DeSantis notably snubbed then-vice president and Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, following the hurricane, with the governor refusing to take her calls or hold meetings.
DeSantis stated, 'I'm in contact with the President of the United States, DeSantis said on Oct. 1,' confirming his communication with the Biden administration.
