Governor Ron DeSantis embarked on a tour of Crystal River Sunday to assess the devastation caused by Hurricane Idalia within the city. This visit followed President Joe Biden’s recent trip to Live Oak to survey the storm damage.

Governor DeSantis chose not to join the President during his visit, citing concerns that a presidential visit could divert crucial resources away from ongoing recovery efforts.
