President Joe Biden on Tuesday took a shot at Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, describing the possible 2024 presidential candidate as “Donald Trump incarnate” while campaigning for his gubernatorial rival Democratic nominee Charlie Crist. “Charlie is running against Donald Trump incarnate.
