Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis skipped a $25,000-a-plate fundraiser for New York gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) on Aug. 28 because of an “unforeseen tragedy,” according to a Zeldin spokesperson.

“An unforeseen tragedy forced Governor DeSantis to reschedule his trip to New York,” Zeldin’s spokeswoman, Katie Vincentz, told the New York Post. “While we’re rescheduling with Governor DeSantis for a later date, tonight’s fundraiser will proceed and is expected to raise almost a million dollars.”
