An aide to the Florida governor said that Harris' call "seemed political" and that she "was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is not taking calls from Vice President Kamala Harris about storm recovery just over a week after Hurricane Helene hammered parts of his state.

A source familiar with the situation said he was dodging the Democratic presidential nominee’s calls because they “seemed political,” according to a DeSantis aide.

“Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn’t answer,” the DeSantis aide told NBC News.

The same person said “not to my knowledge” when asked if DeSantis had spoken to President Joe Biden.

    What a clear example of these politicians not giving a rat’s ass about their citizens. Even if it was just a chance for her to have a political talking point, ISN’T THAT BETTER THAN HAVING YOUR CITIZENS SUFFER???

    They would rather people’s lives get ruined than give Biden/Harris a possible win. I’m sure as people’s homes are getting swept away they’ll be comforted by the fact that Harris didn’t get one over on DeSantis.
