His first and firmest message was: Get out.
Offstage after the press conference, Ron DeSantis had a different emphasis. “He came down to the city and kind of prepared all of us,” says Mayor Erik Arroyo of Sarasota. The two shared notes on the preparations they had put in place. They pledged to get the city running again more quickly than the days or weeks most believed it would take.

opinion When we have to spend 100 billion dollars or more on Florida in places in that state we're people have no place building some of their homes if you can't get insurance on it Don't expect the government to bail you out
opinion I think state that have an affinity for natural disasters should have to pay in at least 5% or more of their GDP to a trust fund it can be used when they have he's ever increasing large natural disasters Republicans will want to blame Democrats for high inflation...

opinion America is closed , Ukraine first 😂
opinion Would be nice if he had the same focus on ethical matters.
opinion The hurricane may postpone the bussing of criminal aliens for a while?
opinion What DeSantis says today is all BS study his history and old speeches, and written quotes. He is an opportunist that will say anything the proof is out there for everyone to see. Just use your own eyes
opinion Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. There are better leaders - vote DSantis out’
opinion JFC the guy voted against aid for Sandy victims , this article is pure pandering sycophantic drivel.
opinion “Practical matters”, like finding migrants in Texas, lying to them, and flying them at Florida’s cost to an island all to own the libs. Such focus!
opinion Anyone with an open mind about him would have been wildly impressed by his press conferences and the response so far…
opinion Oh please!
opinion Don't get me started on woke hurricanes! (Or should I say, 'they-icanes'?)
opinion And yet he chooses to put his focus on said unpractical politics. The only thing Hurricane Ian made me realize about DeSantis was that he's a bigger hypocrite than I thought after his previous stance on federal aid was broadcast.
opinion He’s cynical and petty — a performance troll putting on an act. The Martha’s Vineyard stunt was like a middle school prank in terms of maturity. We don’t need leaders with his character traits.
opinion He did just fine, and he will do just fine.
opinion Murdock opinion cheerleading piece ?
opinion Instead of calling it the WSJ Opinion, shouldn't it be called the GOP Propaganda?
opinion Ahhh, 'he learned his lesson' moment which will pass faster than the storm.
opinion People are dead because of Rob Desantis and his actions
opinion 😂 you mean like his disciplined focus allowing property insurance collapse in FL? Or when he was focused on owning the libs last week flying asylum seekers from Texas to Mass? He is a demagogue who uses tax payer money for his beefs
opinion He hasn't been sobered, stop trying to rehab his image with drivel like this
