拜登無心, 估不到咁, 同賀錦麗無溝通
Biden didn't know Ron DeSantis had refused to take Harris' call when he praised him as 'gracious'President Joe Biden hadn’t been briefed about a back-and-forth between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Vice President Kamala Harris over hurricane recovery before he praised him as “gracious” in a news conference Wednesday, a source familiar with the situation said.
NBC News first reported Monday that DeSantis refused to take Harris’ call when she reached out about Hurricane Helene’s impact on Florida. DeSantis charged that Harris was trying to "politicize the storm." Harris called him “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish.” The spat grabbed headlines for several days.
On Wednesday, Biden delivered a widely televised address warning the public about the potentially catastrophic impact of Hurricane Milton, which began ravaging Florida’s coastline Wednesday night.
A reporter then asked Biden whether DeSantis should be taking Harris’ phone calls. He praised DeSantis and dodged answering the question directly.
“All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Gov. DeSantis. He’s been very gracious,” Biden said. “He’s thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing. And I think that’s important.”
In his remarks Wednesday, Biden emphasized the danger Milton posed to Florida.
“Milton is a Category 3 with wind speeds up to 120 miles per hour,” he said. “But no one should be confused. It’s still expected to be one of the most and worst destructive hurricanes to hit Florida in over a century.”
Biden also castigated those who have spread misinformation and conspiracy theories about Hurricane Helene — and specifically called out former President Donald Trump by name.
