Florida Governor Ron DeSantis continued to lead recovery efforts in Florida’s Big Bind over the weekend after it was hit by near-Category 4 Hurricane Idalia last week.
DeSantis, who is also running for president, stepped off the campaign trail last week to focus on leading his state’s response to the hurricane.
The governor met with large numbers of residents on Saturday in areas that had been impacted to find out what they needed from the state and to serve food to those communities.
It was my pleasure to help serve the Horseshoe Beach community today.
Thank you to @ChickfilA for supporting our recovery efforts. pic.twitter.com/WDd6KlEa8Q

Keaton Beach sustained major damage from Hurricane Idalia when it made landfall here.
This will not be an easy recovery, but local officials are working nonstop to get this community back on its feet. We will be there to provide support. pic.twitter.com/McrmxxAAhj
