Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-finally-speaks-to-desantis-following-backlash-over-not-reaching-out-ahead-of-hurricane\">finally called<\/a> the day before the storm hit, but only after he faced backlash for appearing to put politics over people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, I\u2019ll tell you what. I mean, what I told him is that the media was making a big deal that he wasn\u2019t talking to me or whatever, and I told him, I was like, \u2018Look, I want to work together for these people. Because these people are from all walks of life. Republicans, Democrats, they expect us to be able to put our differences aside,\u2019\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cAnd nobody has done more to stand up to this administration than me in Florida over the last year and a half, as you know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you\u2019ve got to be willing to work together to help folks. And so I think the response from local, state, and federal has been pretty seamless,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s a testament that, you know what, we as a country can get things done when it counts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>DeSantis called out Biden back in late September when Biden still had not contacted the governor ahead of Hurricane Ian, which was a near Category 5 hurricane, making landfall.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks from DeSantis come after Biden held separate calls with Mayor Jane Castor of Tampa, Mayor Ken Welch of St. Petersburg, and Mayor Frank Hibbard of Clearwater. An official White House readout of the calls made no mention of the president speaking with DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I have not personally spoken with the president, but FEMA has approved our pre-landfall request,\u201d DeSantis said during a press conference when asked at the time if he had spoken to Biden.\u00a0\u201cWe feel like we have a good relationship with FEMA. You know, I\u2019m happy to brief the president if he\u2019s interested in hearing what we\u2019re doing in Florida, you know, my view on all this is like you got people\u2019s lives at stake, you got their property at stake, and we don\u2019t have time for pettiness. We got to work together to make sure we\u2019re doing the best job for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/biden-praises-desantis-for-remarkable-response-to-hurricane-ian-i-think-hes-done-a-good-job\">Biden Praises DeSantis For \u2018Remarkable\u2019 Response To Hurricane Ian: \u2018I Think He\u2019s Done A Good Job\u2019<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis explained during an interview Friday night how he got President Joe Biden to cooperate with efforts to assist Florida after the state was hit by one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the country late last month.
