Governor "avoids", Biden inspects Florida disaster area

Release time:Apr 16, 2024 07:36 AM

US President Joseph Biden inspected the areas affected by Hurricane Idalia in Florida on the 2nd, but Florida Governor Ron de Santis chose not to meet with him. Multiple media outlets have reported that Biden's trip is full of "political color".

Currently, Democratic Biden has announced his candidacy for re-election as president, while Republican De Santis has also announced his candidacy for president, and his Republican campaign is only behind former Republican President Donald Trump. Multiple media outlets have reported that Biden and De Santis are potential opponents.

Regarding the Florida disaster, Biden and De Santis have had multiple communications over the past week, and the White House has said that the two will meet face-to-face. However, the Florida Governor's Office stated on September 1st that De Santis had no plans to meet with Biden, citing that "security preparations made solely to arrange such a meeting would bring ongoing recovery work to a halt.".

On the 2nd day, Biden conducted an aerial inspection of the disaster area by plane and went to the severely affected city of Lefrock to receive briefings from local officials and emergency personnel. When asked by media reporters if he was disappointed that De Santis did not come, Biden replied, "No, I am not disappointed. He may have other reasons..."

According to Biden, De Santis "helped arrange" this trip and, together with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, decided "where we should go and where there should be minimal interference.".

Despite Biden's efforts to downplay the impact of not meeting with De Santis, according to media reports such as Reuters, De Santis' decision to avoid Biden caught the White House off guard. According to the public schedule, on the day of Biden's inspection, De Santis inspected some small communities along the Gulf Coast of Florida.

According to Reuters, as the competition for presidential candidates within the Republican Party intensifies, there is undoubtedly a political risk for De Santis to be photographed standing next to Biden inspecting the disaster area. After Hurricane Ian in October last year, a photo of Biden and DeSantis during his inspection in Florida caught public attention. In the photo, Biden is talking to a local couple, while De Santis standing next to Biden is considered too awkward.

Although Biden did not see De Santis, he met former Florida Governor and Republican Congressman Rick Scott in Lefrock, and the two had a face-to-face conversation. However, the details widely noticed by the media are that Scott wore a hat with the number "45" printed on the back. Trump is the 45th President of the United States, and Scott has repeatedly expressed support for him. However, he later explained that the "45" on his hat referred to himself as the 45th Governor of Florida.

Dean Criswell, Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, told media reporters that the absence of a meeting between Biden and De Santis will not have any impact on the reconstruction work in the disaster area. According to her statement, the search and rescue work in the disaster area has been completed, and the current focus is to restore power supply to the affected areas as soon as possible.

Idalia made landfall in Florida on August 30th as a Category 3 hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. After nearly 36 hours, it was downgraded to a post tropical cyclone and left the east coast of the United States. Idaria has caused heavy rainfall in multiple states of the United States, resulting in at least three deaths from hurricane related events and hundreds of thousands of users experiencing power outages.

CCTV News: In recent days, the planting and transplanting work of Jiangxi Zhongdao is fully underway. In Ji'an City, some areas have adopted a new technology of "three in one" for rice planting this year, which means that a machine can simultaneously complete transplanting, fertilization, and spraying, which can effectively save costs and increase efficiency. This is a rice field in Aocheng Town, Ji'an County, Ji'an City, where several agricultural machines are working in the field. These machines look the same as regular rice transplanters from the appearance, but the agricultural machinery operator told reporters that two new parts have been installed on the machine - a side deep fertilization and spraying device, which can complete rice transplants, fertilization, and spraying in one go. Not only does it save labor costs, but it can also fertilize seedlings more accurately. The side deep fertilization device can apply fertilizer to the soil at a depth of 3-5 centimeters on the side of seedlings, so that fertilization will not cause excessive fertility and problems such as root rot.

Author: Mao Yufei In 1985, at the luxurious villa of the Sackler family, family members held an important meeting. Richard Sackler stood against the light, his face half bright and half dark. Richard is responsible for product development and marketing at the family founded Purdue Pharmaceutical Company, and is a pending successor. The patent for Mesconazole, which once generated 25% of sales for Purdue, is about to expire. Richard has proposed a heavyweight plan to his family's predecessors: to develop a new opioid drug specifically designed to alleviate moderate pain. For this plan, several seniors frowned and said, "Opioid drugs are easily addictive and cannot be used repeatedly." Richard's uncle Arthur Sackler nodded and then waved at Richard, saying, "Don't get your mind too stuck. The market needs to find ways to create it yourself.". In 2015, in a battle against
