The White House refused to comment on why President Biden has not spoken with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis prior to Hurricane Ian making landfall Tuesday.
Biden has spoken on the phone with multiple Florida mayors ahead of the storm but has so far snubbed the popular Republican governor. Reporters repeatedly pressed FEMA chief Deanne Criswell on why Biden hadn't made the call during a White House press briefing Tuesday.
"In the past, President Biden has made calls to [Republican] governors in situations like natural disasters, [such as] Kay Ivey in Alabama, Asa Hutchinson in Arkansas or the governor in Texas," a reporter began. "Can you articulate how these determinations are made and why it hasn't been made in this case to have the president call the governor?"
"The president is very focused on making sure the federal family has the right resources to support this," Criswell responded. "That is why I contacted the governor right away, and we have a team of my senior leadership embedded with the governor to make sure that we're supporting that."

Any damage caused by the hurricane will be blamed on DeSantis, not on biden.
“Bush/Katrina”.
The blame is bubbled up and stops at the first Republican it encounters, bypassing all democrats.
The negative stories about how Governor DeSantis mishandled the storm have already been written.
Shunning is beneficial when approached by Washington DC flying monkeys pretending to serve your interests. Just ask Joe Manchin these days.
“Release the Climate Change and Evil DeSantis media packages”
Who care all president Retard will do is screw things up
Circle around to my ass
When my state gets hit by tornadoes the last thing we need is President Dipstick screwing things up. We don’t need him for some FEMA money or disaster declaration. We don’t need him for anything
Desantis should ask Biden publicly “How much gas can you send us for generators from the strategic reserves?”
This is Brandon’s Katrina. Make him own it.
And: if you believe FEMA helps after hurricanes, you are deluded. If FEMA shows up with a truck of water, the truck can only be unloaded during office hours.
The unvaxxed FLORIDA NATIONAL GUARD will make a difference.
Exactly!!!!!!!
Especially if their are black neighborhoods damaged. Has he dynamited the levies yet?
DeSantis needs to remind the Floridians that Jo Jo the Child Molester and his band of pedophiles couldn’t care less about them. Jo Jo’s into foreign freeloaders, especially the little girls. Friggin’ child molsester.
DeSantis was probably not listed on Slow Joe’s Etch-a-Sketch or teleprompter.
No need for DeSantis to take Biden’s call he has nothing of worth or logic to offer.
Same old crap. Laser focus and closely monitoring.
