The Daily Beast reports:
Even though Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) is no fan of President Joe Biden, and vice-versa, the right-wing lawmaker had nothing but praise for the commander-in-chief over the federal government’s response to Hurricane Idalia.
With Florida Gov. (and GOP presidential hopeful) Ron DeSantis apparently looking to avoid a Chris Christie-Barack Obama photo-op on Saturday, Scott—a former governor of the state—joined Biden as he surveyed the damage from the storm.
“What the federal government is doing is a big deal. I want to thank you for doing that very quickly,” he exclaimed.
Read the full article. As you can see below, some have speculated that DeSantis might run for Scott’s Senate seat after his presidential campaign collapses.
The fact Rick Scott is praising Biden tells me DeSantis is probably considering a senate run against him

WOW, Sen. Rick Scott with praise for President Biden:
“Can I just say something real quick about what the President has done?
First off, the President did a great a job with the early declaration before the storm hit the coast. That was a big deal.”pic.twitter.com/ZTiD8lImNz

📸 In a rare but meaningful moment of bipartisanship today, President Biden and Rick Scott made Ron DeSantis look even smaller than he really is.
