Vice President Kamala Harris has been reaching out to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis as yet another hurricane is barreling toward his state.
However, NBC News reports that DeSantis has been blowing off her calls.
One DeSantis aide who spoke with NBC said that they did not want to take Harris's calls because they "seemed political."
"Kamala was trying to reach out, and we didn't answer," the aide added.
The aide also said they had no knowledge of DeSantis talking with President Joe Biden, who reached out to the Florida governor last week without success.
DeSantis has, however, been talking directly with Federal Emergency Management Director Deanne Criswell.

DeSantis' apparent reluctance to speak with Harris comes at a time when former President Donald Trump has been lobbing multiple false claims at the Biden administration for its handling of Hurricane Helene, which caused widespread devastation throughout the Southeastern United States more than a week ago.
Among other things, Trump falsely claimed that Biden had refused to talk with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp despite the fact that Kemp confirmed that he had personally spoken with Biden.
