President Biden reached out to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Monday to inform him that he would approve a federal disaster declaration for Tropical Storm Idalia, which is expected to make landfall later this week. The White House confirmed that their discussion also included ongoing support for the people of Jacksonville following a recent shooting. When asked about the impact of his potential presidential candidacy on aid from the White House, DeSantis expressed that now is not the time for politics, but rather a time to come together and protect people’s lives and livelihoods. Biden’s declaration authorizes federal assistance for the affected areas in Florida, and DeSantis has already declared a state of emergency for several counties. FEMA has been appointed to coordinate recovery operations, and the contaminated fuel issue at gas stations in the Gulf Coast is being addressed. Despite recent events, DeSantis has committed to bolster security for a historically Black college nearby.
