President Biden will visit Florida to view Idalia damage on Saturday, but Ron DeSantis will not be there to greet him. Guess he doesn't want a rerun of this devastating picture from post-Hurricane Ian.
'Cuz see, Joe is a real people person who connects with everyone he meets, while Ron is — not.
DeSantis is claiming the visit will impede recovery operations, but the White House countered that the two had spoken yesterday — and when Joe said he and Jill were coming down, Rhonda had no objections. Typical DeSantis hypocrisy and obfuscation. (Plain English: lying.)
The other possibility is that DeSantis doesn't want to get anywhere near the press in a non-scripted setting, because he's afraid they'll ask him about his Super PAC pulling out of the Super Tuesday states. Since he bristles whenever journalists rightly ask him stuff, a display of privileged petulance probably wouldn't go over well in the middle of Idalia destruction.
The additional bad news for Ron is that there are three full months left in the 2023 hurricane season — it doesn't end until November 30. And knowing how warm the oceans are these days, the chances that Florida will have another storm are probably pretty high. Which means that DeSantis should brace himself for more Democratic visits. Shall we send Vice President Harris next time? We cats PURR.
