Florida's Deadliest Hurricane in Years May Worsen Inequality, Housing Amid DeSantis's Culture War

As President Biden meets with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and survivors of Hurricane Ian, the deadliest storm to hit the state in decades, we get an update from Florida state Representative Michele Rayner on relief efforts underway and the housing crisis exacerbated by the storm. Republicans like Governor DeSantis are "more concerned about sticking it to Joe Biden than actually making sure that they can take care of their people," says Rayner. She also discusses the treatment of asylum seekers in Florida and the anti-LGBT "Don't Say Gay" bill.
