Joe Biden visits Florida to survey destruction from Hurricane Idalia and comfort its victims. Governor Ron DeSantis, a potential presidential rival, opts not to join US president.

Notably absent was Governor Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate who declined to join Biden on Saturday after he suggested that the Democrat's presence could hinder disaster response efforts. He spoke outdoors near a church that had parts of its sheet metal roof peeled back by Idalia's powerful winds and a home half crushed by a fallen tree.
"Anything they need related to these storms. Your nation has your back, and we’ll be with you until the job is done."
