A spokesperson for Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday that there are no plans for the Republican to meet with President Joe Biden when he travels to Florida on Saturday, contradicting comments Biden made earlier in the day indicating they would.
“We don’t have any plans for the Governor to meet with the President tomorrow,” DeSantis spokesperson Jeremy Redfern told CNN Friday. “In these rural communities, and so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts.”
Biden had told CNN earlier Friday that “yes,” he did plan to meet with the Florida governor while surveying damage from Hurricane Idalia in the state over the weekend.
A Leader needs to be seen to care for the People being led to have the faith to rebuild. Soulless bureaucrats in far away place to do not instill such faith.
I don’t buy that. It’s mostly to stop the opposition from saying “look the president doesn’t care about you”.
There is much History (see any Historic account of a Leader rallying his People, as per Joan D’arc, or for a more recent example see Present day Ukraine) to back up my view and yours assumes bad faith which must first be proven.
Whenever a president fails to visit a disaster site in a timely manner the opposition goes nuts over it. Yet nobody expects the president to lead us into battle. They can but don’t - because the opposition doesn’t want to either. So they both stay silent about it.

“He didn’t get there fast enough” is a common criticism. And almost all of the criticism comes from the opposition. It’s political now.
Myopia which ignores the examples given is hardly a refute.
It’s that a confession?
I seriously doubt you are qualified to hear one.
I’ll take that as a compliment.
Yes, the are sadly some that take great pleasure in bad faith arguments. Well done.
