If I’m the DeSantis campaign I distribute this far and wide and by the way, have you noticed how quickly the aftermath of the hurricane became a complete non-story.

Why? Because there is no way to spin it that makes DeSantis look anything but good so Hurricane Idalia? That’s old news.

[Or even better — it’s now a “local story,” made so by the competence and execution of Florida’s emergency response under DeSantis’ leadership. It’s not the first time we’ve seen this media pattern in Florida, either. — Ed]
