"It's life-threatening," Biden said of the Category 4 storm as he spoke at a White House conference on hunger and nutrition. "You should obey all warnings and directions from emergency officials. Don't take anything for granted. Use their judgment, not yours."
Biden said members of his team have been in constant contact with the governor "since the beginning." He also called three Florida mayors -- from Clearwater, Tampa and St. Petersburg -- on Tuesday about the impending storm. The storm poses a major test for both Biden and DeSantis, often foes on numerous issues, just six weeks before the midterm elections.
Biden said Wednesday the federal government will be "ready to help in every single way possible" during Hurricane Ian, noting he's developed and deployed a search and rescue team that's already on the ground, and to help Florida rebuild after the storm.
Biden is a tool
Thank you POTUS for caring for all Americans and sending help without being asked 💕
Will Joe Biden remain President until 2029? Will Donald Trump be back in office in 2025 and remain President until 2029? But just what is he doing about the war in Ukraine right now? I really want Ukraine to join both NATO and the EU. My BBC link is about Olympus Mons.
Another reason to appreciate POTUS . Unlike trump, who went out of his way to punish states with Dem governors or states he didn't win in 2020. President Biden helps all states. VoteBlue2022 VoteBlueforJustice
He told people to get vaccinated in preparation for a hurricane... Clear sign he's bought and paid for by big pharma
Worst President ever
No he warned people to get vaccinated!
So where and what is Trump doing for his home state? With all of his vast experience he said he had from 9/11. Is he helping making sandbags, working food lines, giving some of his millions out to those who will lose everything? Where are you now clown?
Trump, sit back and watch a true professional and leader in President Biden how to deal with national disasters. The GOP still won't do shit to help, so it's on the Democrats to pull us through AGAIN. Thank You President Joe Biden Commander in Chief!
Biden is trying! At the cusp of 80, who else could do much better!? And, it's NOT Trump!!!
Yes, get your boosters!!!
Disney World remains open as Hurricane Ian approaches Florida and some Disney hotels close
while refusing to call GovRonDeSantis to provide his support. Politics over the safety of fellow Americans. That is what this President is doing to the great people of this nation. Floridians will stand with Gov DeSantis before standing with Biden.
ABC you better do articles on what a great job DeSantis is doing handling the hurricane
He's about to give another 12 billion dollars to Ukraine while Florida needs help. Thank you Joe, for proved us what a great president Donald was.
