Biden calls Florida mayors — but not DeSantis — as Hurricane Ian nears shore
NY Post ^ | 09/27/2022 | Steve Nelson

Posted on 09/27/2022 1:08:04 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden called three Florida mayors Tuesday as Hurricane Ian nears Florida’s western coast — but didn’t call Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, with whom he has clashed on issues such as COVID-19 policies and migration.

Presidents frequently speak directly with governors during emergency events — both to demonstrate political unity and to help coordinate federal and state relief efforts.

As the devastating Category 3 storm approached, Biden instead spoke with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch and Clearwater Mayor Frank Hibbard. Castor and Welch are Democrats, while Hibbard is a Republican.

DeSantis is a potential 2024 Republican presidential candidate and has frequently criticized Biden’s performance.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at her regular press briefing that Biden “held separate calls” with the mayors and “discussed planning and preparation for Hurricane Ian.”

I am sure Desantis could give a BEEP if pudding brain calls or not.

Why do they keep calling it a hurricane and not a tropical storm?

TIMELINE:

Tuesday: Outer bands of rain arrive in Central Florida, isolated severe weather risk
Wednesday: Rain, winds, severe storms expected for most of Central Florida.
Flooding and tornados a concern. Official landfall is forecast for sometime Wednesday evening.
Thursday: Lingering storms remain, watching storm movement

Jao Bai Dan regime is trying to set up Gov. Desantis for a Katrina situation. Take heed Gov. Desantis and make it happen- do not depend on FEMA-

I bet those conversations with mayors have been “ play ball to make Desantis bad and we will take care of you with cushy job or untraceable government funds”

Florida experienced significant damage with Ian’s passing - but the Governor, Ron DeSantis, assures everyone not to worry. “Florida will recover and we will be on our feet shortly. Thank God and a big ’Thank You!’ to all our first responders, National Guard personnel, police and firefighters as well as medical! However, I am much more concerned about the Cat. 6 hurricane Brandon that has hit the entire country with devastating results. 9 trillion dollars of wealth has been wiped out, babies in and out of the womb are being killed I speak, all but a few Republican politicians have been rendered brain dead and predators are now embedded in our nations schools. Our boarders are totally compromised and our enemies foreign and domestic are now everywhere. American families across the nation will likely never recover - and the storm shows no signs of abating.”

Not good from Biden, but maybe good for Desantis.

He’d just be making muddle-headed meaningless statements anyway.

Because it’s currently a class 3 hurricane, 120mph sustained winds.
