President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are visiting Florida to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Idalia and meet with first responders, federal personnel, and local officials. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has voiced concerns with the president's "security apparatus" disrupting recovery efforts, and the visit is reminiscent of then-Governor Chris Christie's embrace of then-President Barack Obama during Superstorm Sandy. It is yet to be seen how the President's visit will affect the 2024 presidential race.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will not meet with President Joe Biden when he visits the state this weekend to survey the damage from Hurricane Idalia. Sparky Abrandt, 78, is one of the lucky few whose home has survived the storm, and the Governor's office has said that they are committed to ensuring that the affected communities receive the resources they need to recover. It is unclear whether DeSantis will join the President on the trip.
