The vice president called into the Weather Channel to address misinformation and reassure Floridians that the federal government is working on their behalf as Hurricane Milton approaches.
During her 10-minute appearance, Kamala Harris addressed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' accusation that the vice president is politicizing the storm. Harris started off by saying "this is not a time for us to point fingers at each other as Americans, it's really not."
"Anybody who considers themselves to be a leader should really be in the business right now of giving people a sense of confidence that we're all working together and that we have the resources and the ability to work together on their behalf, on behalf of the people of our country," Harris said. "That's what I'm focused on."
She added that she welcomes anyone to work with her on behalf of Americans.
"I don't care who you voted for in the last election or who you're voting for in the next election," Harris said.
The Democratic presidential nominee addressed those who are recovering from Hurricane Helene and advised them not to "listen to anything or anybody that's trying to make you more afraid than you already are because of what has happened," before reassuring them that "there are federal resources you are entitled to receive without condition."
Harris also warned companies considering price gouging -- which airlines, gas stations, and hotels have been accused of -- that the federal government is watching and monitoring them, and there will be consequences.
