Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Friday that a “definitive explanation” is needed in a timely manner as to why a 12-story condo building partially collapsed in Surfside, Florida, amid search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of the deadly incident.
At a press conference in Surfside, a small suburb north of Miami Beach, the Republican governor said that he and Democrat Mayor Daniella Levine Cava of Miami-Dade County both agree there needs to be “a definitive explanation for how this could have happened.”
