President Joe Biden said during a press conference on Wednesday that he sensed nothing political when he spoke with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as DeSantis managed Florida’s emergency response to Hurricane Idalia.

“Governor DeSantis is also running for president. You are running for re-election,” a reporter said. “Did you sense any politics in your conversations with him about [Hurricane Idalia]?”

“No, believe it or not. I know it sounds strange, especially how the nature of politics today,” Biden responded. “But I was down there in the last major storm, I spent a lot of time with him walking from community to community making sure he had what he needed to get it done.”

“I think he trusts my judgement and my desire to help and I trust him to be able to suggest what he needs, that this is not about politics, this is about taking care of the people of the state,” he added.

REPORTER: Gov. DeSantis is also running for president. You are running for re-election. Did you sense any politics in your conversations with him about [Hurricane Idalia]?

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: No, believe it or not. I know it sounds strange, especially how the nature of politics today. But I was down there in the last major storm, I spent a lot of time with him walking from community to community making sure he had what he needed to get it done. I think he trusts my judgement and my desire to help and I trust him to be able to suggest what he needs, that this is not about politics, this is about taking care of the people of the state.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed on Wednesday that the Biden administration was stopping the flow of illegal immigration into the U.S. through the southern border despite officials documenting millions of illegal border crossings.

Jean-Pierre made the remarks during the White House press briefing when asked about New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ remarks that “any plan that does not include stopping the flow at the border is a failed plan.”

When asked why the administration was failing to stop illegal immigration into the country, Jean-Pierre claimed, “We are stopping the flow at the border. If anything, the — what the president has been able to do on his own, without the help of Republicans in Congress — something that he had to do on his own.”

She spun the administration’s border disaster by claiming that Republicans “refused to give the funding necessary to deal with a situation.”

“They choose — what they choose to do is play politics, but [the] president has put a plan that is — indeed, the data is showing is — that it is indeed stopping, slowing down the flow of unlawful migration,” she claimed.

REPORTER: Thank you. Eric Adams, the New York mayor, is saying about these migrants in New York City, “Any plan that does not include stopping the flow at the border is a failed plan.” So, why aren’t you guys stopping the flow at the border?

MS. JEAN-PIERRE: We are stopping the flow at the border. If anything, the — what the President has been able to do on his own, without the help of Republicans in Congress — something that he had to do on his own, again, because Republicans refused to give the funding necessary to deal with a situation imm- — a broken immigration system that has been broken for decades.

They choose — what they choose to do is play politics, but the pers- — the President has put a plan that is — indeed, the data is showing is — that it is indeed stopping, slowing down the flow of unlawful migration. And that is because of the work that this President continues to do without — without the help of Republicans.
