Florida governor Ron DeSantis held a press conference on Sept. 1 while observing the hurricane damage in North Florida, during which he emphasized the need for the federal government to add another county to its major disaster declaration.
“We definitely need to get the federal government to add Madison County to the individual assistance of that declaration,” he said. “They got hit. They clearly merit it, [and] I think we’re gonna probably get that because there was a lot of damage that had happened there.”
