JUST IN: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Gives Update On Response To Hurricane Milton

Dear Governor DeSantis, I hope this letter finds you well. I want to express my support for your leadership during these challenging times in Florida. Your dedication to our state and your proactive communication with the President and FEMA during recent hurricanes have not gone unnoticed. I believe that the state of Florida deserves a public apology from Vice President Kamala Harris for her attempts to project her political views onto our state. It seems that her past actions do not demonstrate a genuine concern for Florida, particularly during hurricanes that have impacted our communities. Your consistent engagement with federal authorities shows your commitment to ensuring that our state receives the support it needs, and I appreciate your efforts in prioritizing the well-being of Floridians over political rhetoric.
