Florida Governor Ron DeSantis reportedly avoided calls from vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris related to the federal government's involvement in the aftermath of hurricane Helene.
The refusal by DeSantis was politically motivated, according to NBC, as the governor claimed Harris' calls "seemed political." He's also quoted by the outlet as saying that the federal government should focus on North Carolina. "Florida, we have it handled," DeSantis said. "We have what we need."
