DeSantis will not meet Biden on president's post-Idalia trip
Fox News
Gov. Ron DeSantis's staff say he will not be meeting with President Biden when the commander-in-chief visits the areas affected by Hurricane Idalia.
"In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts," said DeSantis Spokesman Jeremy Redfern.

This statement contradicts Biden, who told reporters he would meet with the Florida governor during his trip.
