Today, as Ron DeSantis embarks on a week-long foreign trip to Asia, Europe, and the Middle East without yet traveling to South Florida in the wake of catastrophic flooding, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement:
“Thousands of Floridians are still trying to recover from catastrophic flooding yet Ron DeSantis is nowhere to be found. Instead of traveling to South Florida to assess the damage, DeSantis is trotting across the globe to boost his profile and pursue his presidential ambitions while Floridians struggle. Yet again, DeSantis is prioritizing his own personal agenda over Floridians.”
