Bal Harbor: Sitting next to one of the most fierce critics on Thursday, President Joe Biden managed to find a silver layer at the tomb tragedy that unites it.
“Do you know what’s good about this?” Biden asked the Governor of Florida Ron Desantis, not waiting for an answer.
“We let the nation know we can work together.” Desantis, Star of the Republic of the Republic of the Republican with former President Donald Trump, is at the forefront of partisan fights throughout the country for anti-Corony’s locking, racial justice protests and efforts to limit access to voters.
But in the last few days the two rivals have gathered because the collapse of a 12-storey building in Surfside, Florida, more than a week ago has killed at least 18 people, with 145 lost and fear of death.
Biden has sent millions of federal dollars and a number of search and rescue personnel to help local officials in combing the champlain tower debris in the south for survivors, which are limited by a visit on Thursday.
When he talked about unity as long as the short part of their meeting was open to reporters, Biden stared desantis right in the eyes and governors nodded in agreement.
“Thank you, Mr.
President,” Desantis said.
“You recognize the severity of this tragedy since the first day and you are very supportive.” “We don’t have a bureaucracy” and there is no delay in getting federal resources to Florida, he continued.
The meeting might be important for the White Biden building for pursuing a strategy of “reach across the hallway” to build and show off support for its presidency, especially with a small group of “swing” voters.
It was a battle uphill with many Republicans, some of them believed Trump repeated false claims that decorative fraud caused a Biden victory.
The effort seems to impress at least one observer, Moshe Horowitz, who stayed at the Hotel where Biden and Desantis met.
“There should always be a dialogue between the two parties,” said New Yorker told Reuters when he tried a glimpse of the president outside the hotel.
He said he opposed Biden’s policy so far but supports bipartistic shows.
“Desantis and Biden meet each other is extraordinary, and they must continue to do that,” he said.
At the initial address of January, Biden promised to “fight as hard as those who did not support me for those who did it.” He encouraged the Republican support at the Congress on a massive expenditure plan, and has made a point of visiting the Republican voting countries to encourage Covid-19 infrastructure and vaccines.
In Texas, following a deadly winter storm, he worked with Governor Greg Abbott, another Trump-bound Republic who initially did not recognize the victory of the Democratic election.
Desantis, which is widely seen as a potential gonya 2024 for the presidency, has refused to comment on whether the 2020 election was reduced as a trump claim, but has complained about Biden’s administrative policy.
His office has refused to say whether he would attend the planned trump rally for campaign style for Saturday in Sarasota.
Although Trump no longer holds public positions and only hinted at the round of other presidents, he continued to give a long shadow on the politics of Republic.
Officials close to the former president said he had instructed his team to collect assistance for the surfing family in the rally.
