“I’m sure nobody wishes to have a hurricane so they can polish their credibility, but he did well.'
DeSantis’ comment, which won praise from conservatives and garnered significant coverage, came just days after ain Jacksonville left three Black Floridians dead. DeSantis attended a vigil for the deceased on Sunday evening, and was booed by the crowd while he condemned the violence and promised to send safety resources to the area.
“If I was the DeSantis team, this is a great fight to have — them picking on me for standing up for homeowners who just lost everything,” he said. Since DeSantis’ election as governor in 2018, prices for insurance coverage climbed to an average of $6,000 a year, more than anywhere else in the U.S. In hurricane-prone Florida, insurers are dropping homeowners, going broke and leaving the state. In July, Farmers Insurance became the latest company to pull out of the state. The problem threatens to undermine DeSantis’ 2024 pitch that his policies help people and businesses thrive economically.
But a wonky, yearslong, Florida-specific policy fight is unlikely to prove to be an issue for DeSantis on a national scale or become a major talking point for his opponents at Iowa Lincoln Dinners, unless there’s some kind of dramatic response from Florida homeowners.
