President Biden promised Saturday to “take care of Florida.”
“I don’t think he’s going to be there,” Biden said of DeSantis as he headed to Air Force One. “We are going to take care of Florida.”
His activities will be limited to Live Oak, Fla., 40 miles inland, where he was scheduled to take an aerial tour, hold a briefing with officials and first responders, and meet residents on the ground before heading to Rehoboth Beach, Del. for the rest of the weekend.
