President Joe Biden will meet with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday as he visits the state in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian.
There, Jean-Pierre said, Biden will meet with small business owners and local residents impacted by the historic storm. He will also thank officials who are providing life-saving assistance, working to restore power and are removing debris. Wednesday's visit will be the first face-to-face meeting between Biden and DeSantis since the governor ordered migrants flown from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, which Jean-Pierre continued to slam as a "political stunt."
"As I've made clear: At times like these, our nation comes together, put aside our political differences and get to work," Biden said Monday as he spoke about his upcoming trip. "We show up when we're needed. Because if we lost our home, if we lost a loved one, we'd hope that people would show up for us as well."
The Florida trip comes just days after Biden traveled to Puerto Rico, which was hit by Hurricane Fiona last month.
