The two men, political enemies who routinely attack each other over a wide range of policy issues, have set aside their differences over the past week to cooperate on massive hurricane recovery efforts.
Yet DeSantis, who has asked for and gotten expanded federal aid to deal with the damage caused by the storm, has complemented federal authorities several times on the response and did so again on Tuesday, on the eve of Biden’s visit. The storm, one of the worst in Florida history, killed at least 72 people.
Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee challenging DeSantis in November, has slowly started to ramp up criticism of DeSantis over the governor’s handling of the storm, including questioning whether or not DeSantis should have pressed local authorities in Lee County to order evacuations sooner than they did.
It proved to be the catalyst for GOP opposition against Crist, who a year later left the Republican Party ahead of the 2010 U.S. Senate race that he lost to Marco Rubio. Another GOP governor, Chris Christie of New Jersey, also endured scorn from Republicans for putting politics aside and working with Obama in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012.

Nevada county's plans to hand-count early ballots challengedA rural county in Nevada where conspiracy theories about voting machines run deep is planning to start hand-counting its mail-in ballots two weeks before Election Day, a process that risks public release of early voting results. Several voting and civil rights groups said Monday they objected to the proposal and will consider legal action if Nye County pushes ahead with its plan. Nevada is one of 10 states that allow local election offices to begin tabulating ballots before Election Day, but the machines that typically do that are programmed not to release results.
