A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday that there are no plans for the Republican to meet with President Joe Biden when he travels to Florida on Saturday, contradicting comments Biden made earlier in the day indicating they would.

“We don’t have any plans for the Governor to meet with the President tomorrow,” DeSantis spokesperson Jeremy Redfern told CNN Friday. “In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts.”

Biden had told CNN earlier Friday that “yes,” he did plan to meet with the Florida governor while surveying damage from Hurricane Idalia in the state over the weekend.

        They’re asking you why you felt the need to “both sides” this as if Biden and desantis aren’t listening to experts/playing politics, while Biden is doing everything correctly. It’s disingenuous to act like the one person who is doing the right thing also needs to work on doing better, while the other is actively making it worse and trying to blame everyone but himself.

          I didn’t say anything like what you think I said. Take a breath, stop being a partisan hack, and read it again.

              Telling of what? You’ve misunderstood everything else. I’d be surprised if you got anything right

              I didn’t “both sides” anything. Only a partisan hack would see it that way.
