President Joe Biden on Monday morning spoke with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, telling him the state would have his “full support” as it prepares for Tropical Storm Idalia and its aftermath. The White House said the Federal Emergency Management Agency has deployed personnel and other assets in preparation for response efforts. The storm formed Sunday in the Gulf of Mexico on a potential track to come ashore as a hurricane in the southern U.S., and could approach Florida on Wednesday.
