Biden-DeSantis Florida meeting previews possible 2024 contest

President Biden will meet with Florida GOP Gov. Ron DeSantis to discuss the response to Hurricane Ian — a meeting that could foreshadow the 2024 White House contest.

"They both need each other at this moment," said Davis Houck, a professor of political communication at Florida State University. "The president is appearing with a popular Republican governor and critic, which will make him look bipartisan." Haris Alic covers Congress and politics for Fox News Digital.

"DeSantis, who is up for re-election this year, gets to share a stage with the commander-in-chief and show voters a different image than the one they might only know of him as a partisan fighter," Houck added.
