Ron DeSantis attacked Kamala Harris during an interview Monday night, calling her “delusional” amid reports that the Florida governor refused to take the VP’s calls to discuss hurricane relief.

Asked earlier in the day about a report that, as a DeSantis aide described, “Kamala was trying to reach out, and [the DeSantis team] didn’t answer,” the vice president told reporters, “People are in desperate need of support right now, and playing political games at this moment, in these crisis situations—these are the height of emergency situations—it’s utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish, and it is about political gamesmanship instead of doing the job that you took an oath to do, which is to put the people first.”

During an appearance on The View on Tuesday, Harris said it was a “shame” she hadn’t been able to speak to DeSantis, and that she will continue to call him when she is president.

    Head of the President’s cabinet sounds like it could have potentially wide responsibilities.

    Either way, I guess it’s what the president assigned her to do, or what influence she has on him, his cabinet, etc?
