LIVE: White House holds press briefing

Well we can have someone with sense and understands they CANT change a hurricane with a sharpie

I think it's really disrespectful of reporters to not say President Biden when asking questions about him. That lady reporter just saying " is Biden" or "will Biden" when I know for a fact they never forget to say " President Trump" when referring to him. Instead of former President. Shows their bias. I think Kareen is a paragon of patience with them asking the same question over and over.

Isolationist Ron DeSantis is the greatest threat to my state to date. He will use this as an opportunity to promote his political agenda.

The governor of Florida is a very petty guy, he is not thinking of the people of Florida by not taking a call from the White House, he is thinking of himself and his political future. He should not have put his needs above those of his constituents, but he clearly did.

I hope that the citizens of Florida remember that their governor put politics over their well-being. I also hope the impact isn't too drastic.

When your ego and political party means more to you than the safety of the residents in your state.

DESANTIS IS A SICK MAN. ANYONE WHO DIES IN FLORIDA, THEIR DEATH IS ON HIS HANDS.

It's unfortunate that DeSantis is playing politics despite the natural disaster; the impacted citizenry suffers the most from this action, not VP Harris.

[Steve-co]

I am so happy about this democrat party, please note a real president send help from the government not PAPER TOWELS. Real Action. Thank you President Biden 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[deloissmith]

Stop Peter! You are acting like a child. You understand English. THE FUNDS ARE THERE!!!

[fbwag]

It's so sad when people in leadership positions set poor examples for children. Desantis is an embarrassment, no matter what excuse he gives.

[RiverGirl.]

The mini Mussolini of Florida is being a vindictive little man after losing the nomination for president.

[fuzzamajumula]

These people clearly don't want answers, they want to pick a fight. It's amateur hour since fox, et al, came along. Thanks, once again, fox, for lowering the bar.

[r.w.]

Thank you for the White House briefing. If Donald Trump is elected, we may not have access to accurate information. It is important to remember that during Donald Trump's presidency, he did not hold regular briefings or allow journalists to fully inform the public about important matters concerning our country, the United States.

DeSantis is so childish…and THAT is something for the people of Florida to take into their hands

[carmendouglas]

This show Florida, who he really is and this is the man that you voted for to take care of you all, but you gonna get what you asked for Trump and this guy that you have for Senator whoever is ignoring the president and the vice president call you don’t get what you asked for and you’re not gonna like it

[marieleary]

Whoever that reporter is I’m sick of him he’s a trump flunky he should be banned from these briefings

[curtisporter]

Let's make it ..clear...we the people...are the only ones who hold power....

[Halff_elf]

Every accusation that Trump makes is actually a confession of guilt.

[debbiewilcox]

Am I crazy did I hear two reporters ask the same question about DeSantis ignoring phone calls?

[henrywheeler]

These news people need to stop these, asking these stupid questions and get real about what's going
