FLORIDA DEMOCRATS WELCOME PRESIDENT BIDEN TO FLORIDA, SLAM DESANTIS FOR REFUSING TO MEET WITH HIM
Chair Nikki Fried lauds Biden’s empathy and leadership ahead of visit
Tomorrow, President Biden will visit Florida to survey damage from Hurricane Idalia. In response, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:
“On behalf of the Florida Democrats, I would like to extend a warm welcome to President Biden as he tours the counties hardest hit by Hurricane Idalia,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “From disaster relief to infrastructure investments, President Biden continues to show up for Floridians.
“Though the circumstances are tragic, Floridians appreciate knowing that their president has their back. The empathy he shows to people who are suffering is why he got elected — it’s one of the marks of a true leader, and it’s why President Biden is the right person to lead us through these difficult times.
“Unfortunately, Ron keeps showing us what divisive leadership looks like. In times of crisis, the American people expect our leaders to put aside their differences and find strength in unity. By refusing to meet with President Biden, he’s proving again what we’ve known for years — Ron will always put politics over people. I hope his fundraisers in Iowa are worth it.”
