DeSantis 'not aware' of Harris calls after reports he dodged them

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said Monday he was not aware of post-Hurricane Helene calls from Vice President Harris after multiple reports emerged that he dodged them. I didnt know she called me.
I was not aware of that, the Florida governor said at a Hurricane Milton-focused press conference.
According to NBC News, who reported on the matter first, a source said that the reason behind the Florida governor not picking up the phone was that, per an aide for DeSantis, the calls seemed political. The aide also said Harris was trying to reach out, and we didnt answer, and that DeSantis and President Biden talking was not to my knowledge.
The president has approved what we asked for. Were thankful for that. If theres something we need that they dont approve, I will not hesitate to call him.
But everything weve asked for, from President Biden, he has approved, DeSantis said in response to being asked about talking with Biden at the Monday press conference.
The White House later directed The Hill to a statement in a pool report that said Biden had separate calls with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Tampa Mayor Jane Castor to get a firsthand report on recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene, and to discuss preparations for Hurricane Milton late Monday.

(888 posts)I'd be disgusted if I was a Floridian. Hopefully they have the sense to respond accordingly in the voting booth.
If a Governor refuses to take calls from an executive because they are a WOMAN they are clearly not fit for office.

(28,925 posts)I mean, DeSatan is, well, satanic, but I was pretty shocked to read he refused a call about hurricane relief and recovery as Milton bears down. I'm inclined to believe him over the aide, who was probably just spit-balling what he thought was a "cool" response to those commie Dems. Because MAGA aren't the brightest bulbs in the fixtures.
