Why Biden called Ron DeSantis ‘gracious’ after Florida Gov snubbed Kamala Harris

On Wednesday, Biden addressed the nation in a televised broadcast, warning of the potential devastation from Hurricane Milton, which had already begun to hit Florida’s coastline. During the press conference, a reporter asked whether DeSantis should have taken Harris’ calls. Rather than addressing the question directly, Biden praised DeSantis for his cooperation, saying he had found him to be “gracious” in their interactions and appreciated the acknowledgment of the federal response.
