Ron DeSantisĀ attackedĀ Kamala Harris during an interview Monday night, calling her ā€œdelusionalā€ amid reports that the Florida governor refused to take the VPā€™s calls to discuss hurricane relief.

Asked earlier in the day about aĀ reportĀ that, as a DeSantis aide described, ā€œKamala was trying to reach out, and [the DeSantis team] didnā€™t answer,ā€ the vice president told reporters, ā€œPeople are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games at this moment, in these crisis situationsā€”these are the height of emergency situationsā€”itā€™s utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.ā€

ā€¦

During an appearance onĀ The ViewĀ on Tuesday, Harris said it was a ā€œshameā€ she hadnā€™t been able to speak to DeSantis, and that she will continue to call him when she is president.

    Head of the Presidentā€™s cabinet sounds like it could have potentially wide responsibilities.

    Either way, I guess itā€™s what the president assigned her to do, or what influence she has on him, his cabinet, etc?
