Notice the media are laying the groundwork to attack DeSantis over #HurricaneIan. Here's a question to the head of FEMA from a McClatchy reporter: "Can you describe...the level of the communications w/state officials & has there been anything unusual or any challenges w/that?"

Washington Post's Matt Viser with DeSantis needling: "In the past...Biden has made calls to governors in...natural disasters, Kay Ivey...Asa Hutchinson....or [Greg Abbott]...Can you articulate...why it hasn't been made in this case to have the President call the governor?"

Replying to @CurtisHouck
Washington Post's Matt Viser on DeSantis: "But he's made conversations with the mayors. So, is there any reason why not the governor?

FEMA admin: "We have a strong team in place...working side-by-side with him and his staff we will continue to stay engaged with him."

Brian Karem w/more DeSantis bashing: "Normally, presidents call governors...or the governors call presidents...The only real question I...want answered...is it, in any way, that they haven't talked...impeded efforts...to implement plans in Florida. And if so I would be?

Brian Karem: "So, the communication between [Biden] and [DeSantis] has no impact on how you all operate?"

FEMA administrator: "Zero."

Weird that Biden won't call DeSantis

In 2021, Biden spoke w/ CT Gov. Lamont, MA Gov. Baker, Maine Gov. Mills, NJ Gov. Murphy, NY Gov. Cuomo, and RI Gov. McKee ahead of Hurricane Henri.

He spoke w/ AL Gov. Ivey, LA Gov. Bel Edwards and MS Gov. Reeves before Hurricane Ida

Joe Biden says he called mayors of St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater:

"I told each one of them, whatever they need contact me directly."

Biden spoke to 3 mayors, 4 county commissioners, 2 local dog catchers, and some guy wearing a Hurricanes jersey at Chipotle before speaking to Ron DeSantis.
