Ron DeSantis had put “politics ahead of his job” by declining to meet with President Joe Biden during the Democrat's weekend visit to survey Hurricane Idalia's damage in DeSantis' state.
And unfortunately, he put politics ahead of his job," Christie said.
Christie giving a warm greeting to Democratic President Barack Obama during a visit after Superstorm Sandy in 2012 earned Christie scorn among national Republicans.
Christie said he was simply doing his job by meeting with the president.
But DeSantis is now running for president and hoping to take on Biden in the 2024 general election.
