Floridians praised Gov. Ron DeSantis' response to Hurricane Idalia, which a pollster told Fox News Digital was a key opportunity to show voters a quality they are looking for.
Ron DeSantis, governor of Florida and 2024 Republican presidential candidate, left, embraces a resident during a visit after Hurricane Idalia in Horseshoe Beach, Florida.
The resident said that DeSantis, who took a break from his presidential campaign to tend to Florida residents, was on a"fact finding mission" when he came and visited their town on Sunday in the wake of the devastation. "He spent close to two hours with me, we walked down our historic Main street, which is Citrus Avenue, and visited these small business owners, which are the lifeblood of our economy here in Crystal River and spoke with them, visited their establishments," Meek said about DeSantis’s visit, adding that the town had all the resources it needed from both the state and federal governments to start the difficult job of recovering.
Olson, head of Olson Strategies & Advertising, told Fox News Digital that DeSantis is the"only serious candidate" currently running on both sides that can"actively demonstrate executive leadership in real-time", adding that"most Democrats don’t even expect that of Joe Biden these days.
"Voters around the country are seeing his leadership in action, and he has even put partisan politics aside, drawing praise from both sides of the aisle on his response along with the rest of the State of Florida," Salvador, CEO and co-founder of DigiBuild, added.
