Florida's national senators, Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, are urging President Joe Biden to approve the Ron DeSantis administration's request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration for 51 counties as Hurricane Milton approaches as one of the strongest storms ever recorded.
"Ensuring that the state has access to the federal resources it needs is imperative to protect Floridians, property and our communities. As such, we request that you promptly approve Governor DeSantis' request for a pre-landfall emergency declaration," reads a passage of the brief letter.
