Reid shared a video of DeSantis on her Twitter page from his Wednesday appearance alongside President Joe Biden, in which the Florida governor stood behind the president as he spoke about Hurricane Ian relief efforts."DeSantis' face is saying so much in this clip," Reid wrote, referencing the governor's reaction as Biden blamed the hurricane on climate change.
DeSantis's deputy press secretary Jeremy Redfern responded to the video with a screenshot of his own. "You’re upset that you got turned down again, huh?" Redfern captioned the picture, which depicted an email exchange between him and an unidentified staffer at The ReidOut. In the email, the staffer asked to"touch base" with DeSantis's team as the midterm elections approach, in which DeSantis is seeking reelection.

— Jeremy Redfern October 6, 2022 This exchange came after a television segment in which Reid went on to discuss DeSantis's record in Congress, particularly when Hurricane Sandy hit New York and New Jersey. At the time, DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio were vocal in their opposition to sending aid to the states.
"He’s now got to go hat in hand to Joe Biden for aid," Reid said."It’s something he didn’t even believe in as a Tea Partier."DeSantis has been under increased scrutiny since Hurricane Ian hit his home state. In an effort to provide relief to the Floridians affected by the storm, first lady Casey DeSantis established a relief fund, which raised almost $35 million as of Monday.
