Biden splits with Harris over 'selfish' DeSantis hurricane preparedness: He's doing 'a great job'

A day after Vice President Kamala Harris called Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) “selfish” regarding Hurricane Helene recovery, President Joe Biden said the governor has been cooperative with the White House and that DeSantis is doing “a great job.”

DeSantis has been active in Florida’s recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene while also working to ensure the Sunshine State is well prepared for Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall as early as Wednesday evening. Biden revealed to the press that he spoke with the governor over the phone on Monday, during which he gave DeSantis his personal number.
