Harris recently labeled DeSantis as &#8220;selfish&#8221; for allegedly politicizing hurricane relief efforts \u200band claimed \u200bhe\u2063 ignored her\u2063 calls. In contrast, Biden praised\u2063 DeSantis&#8217;s cooperation during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-issues-disaster-declaration-for-texas-amidst-severe-winter-weather\/\" title=\"Biden Issues Disaster Declaration For Texas Amidst Severe Winter Weather\">recovery efforts<\/a>, stating that he has been doing a &#8220;great job&#8221; and that they \u200dcommunicated \u200dpositively over the phone. Biden emphasized that he provided DeSantis with his personal contact information, highlighting a collaborative effort\u2063 between the federal \u200bgovernment \u200dand Florida. While acknowledging that there\u2063 were initial challenges\u2064 in response efforts, \u200cBiden \u2063maintained that every governor has\u200d been cooperative and that there is still much work to do \u200bin hurricane\u2063 recovery. DeSantis rebutted Harris&#8217;s accusations, claiming he \u200bwas unaware of any attempts to contact him prior to the hurricane.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Biden splits with Harris over &lsquo;selfish&rsquo; DeSantis hurricane preparedness: He&rsquo;s doing &lsquo;a great job&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1779993\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A day after Vice President Kamala Harris called Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ron-desantis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Ron DeSantis<\/a> (R-FL) &ldquo;selfish&rdquo; regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hurricane\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Hurricane<\/a> Helene recovery, President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Joe Biden<\/a> said the governor has been cooperative with the White House and that DeSantis is doing &ldquo;a great job.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>DeSantis has been active in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/florida\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Florida&rsquo;s<\/a> recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene while also working to ensure the Sunshine State is well prepared for Hurricane Milton, which is expected to make landfall as early as Wednesday evening.
