The American president was accompanied by his wife Jill
US President Joe Biden arrived today in Florida, where Hurricane Ian spread death and destruction. Accompanied by his wife Jill, the US president flew by helicopter over Fort Myers (southwest), one of the areas that suffered the biggest blow from the cyclone. The US presidential couple is set to meet with residents who lost their properties to the wrath of the elements.
Florida is still counting the wounds caused by one of the worst hurricanes in recent years. The official count is 76 dead (72 in Florida and 4 in North Carolina), but the American media reports that the dead are more than a hundred.
Hundreds of thousands of Florida residents remained without power yesterday Tuesday. State authorities estimate it will take months and more than $50 billion to rebuild coastal areas.
Determined to put aside political differences with the state’s Republican governor Ron DeSandis, President Biden will meet with him to discuss the priorities in terms of relief and damage recovery.
“There will be many opportunities to discuss the differences between the president and the governor. But now is not the time,” White House spokeswoman Karin Jean-Pierre said.
The name of 44-year-old Ron Desandes often appears on lists of possible candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
