'Ron DeSantis is MIA': Critics Attack Florida Governor Silence as COVID Ravages State

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Critics have rounded on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis after his state broke its daily record for new COVID-19 cases three times in a week.

Two Florida elected officials, an MSNBC host, and the head of a group seeking to remove DeSantis from office have all suggested that the Republican governor is "missing in action" in recent days.

The state recorded 46,923 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday. That was the highest single-day increase in infections since the pandemic began, while the previous record had been set at 32,874 daily cases on Christmas Eve. Before that, a new record of 31,744 cases was recorded on December 23.

The total number of cases in Florida throughout the entire pandemic has now surpassed 4 million.
