CNN —Long before the outer bands of Hurricane Milton lashed the Florida coast, a political battle over the massive storm was already raging.
This time, partly because Trump pushed so hard to exploit last week’s Hurricane Helene for his political gain, the sparring has started early.
A storm of this size could give Trump a political openingTrump has repeatedly shown there’s no situation he will not try to leverage for political gain.
“I’ve had storms under both President Trump and President Biden, and I’ve worked well with both of them.
Unlike Harris, Biden had kinder words for DeSantis, saying on Tuesday that the governor had been “cooperative.”“I said no, ‘You’re doing a great job, it’s all being done well, we thank you for it,’” Biden said.
