For the past two weeks, President Joe Biden and his allies have publicly escalated a war of words with Gov. Ron DeSantis on Twitter, in speeches by the president and in White House press briefings
by attacking Biden and his administration’s coronavirus response, going so far as to single out the nation’s top infectious disease specialist, Anthony Fauci, by selling “Don’t Fauci My Florida” campaign merchandise last month, just as Covid cases began rising.
Democrats say DeSantis’ approach to managing the current Delta variant surge poses a risk to him because it gives Biden an opportunity to question his competence and his seriousness in fighting a deadly virus, a criticism that worked with great success against Trump, according to one Biden adviser. Hostilities have markedly escalated after DeSantis on July 30 threatened to withhold school money and administrators’ salaries if students are required to mask up without the ability for a parental opt-out. Biden then told DeSantis, as well as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, to get out of the way.
Michael Caputo, who advised Trump’s Covid response and his first campaign, said he sees the Biden 2020 Playbook is being used against DeSantis.
