Biden and DeSantis hit pause on rancor during hurricane

For now, President Joe Biden and GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis have set politics aside to deal with Hurricane Ian as it bears down on Florida.

The two leaders, the politicians most on the line in responding to a natural disaster of this scale, talked for “some time” Tuesday night, Biden said Wednesday during the White House conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health.

“I made it clear to the governor and the mayors that the federal government is ready to help in every single way possible,” Biden said.
