York suggests that Harris may be seeking &#8220;political benefit&#8221; from criticizing DeSantis, noting that he has managed hurricane \u200crecovery efforts effectively in the past. He further argues that while Harris&#8217;s outreach during a disaster can be\u200d seen as\u200b appropriate,\u2062 publicizing her failed attempts \u2063to contact the governor seems ill-advised. President \u200cBiden has praised DeSantis&#8217;s handling of the hurricane situation, and former Florida Governor \u200cJeb Bush also commended DeSantis&#8217;s leadership. In response to Harris\u2019s accusations, DeSantis countered that she should &#8220;look in the mirror&#8221; \u200dand questioned her motivations\u2062 for offering assistance during this hurricane in contrast to previous events.  <\/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\">Harris was seeking &lsquo;political benefit&rsquo; in rebuke toward DeSantis: Byron York<\/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>The <em>Washington Examiner&rsquo;s<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/byron-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Byron York<\/a> assessed that Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Kamala Harris<\/a> was trying to get &ldquo;political benefit&rdquo; with her slight at Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ron-desantis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Ron DeSantis<\/a> (R-FL), proclaiming her attempts to contact the governor were ignored.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris rebuked DeSantis for being &ldquo;selfish&rdquo; for not answering her calls amid the recovery-and-relief efforts following Hurricane Helene, adding that &ldquo;it&rsquo;s a shame&rdquo; she and DeSantis cannot work together when talking about it on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/the-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>The View<\/a><\/em>.
