<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Former President Donald Trump</a> on Thursday published a video message to the people of Florida in the wake of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/major-hurricane-milton-makes-landfall-over-florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hurricane Milton</a>, which made landfall in the state less than two weeks after Florida endured Hurricane Helene.</p>
<p>The hurricane, once as strong as a Category 5, hit the central west coast of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Florida</a> on Wednesday evening, bringing with it powerful winds and torrential rain and spawning more than <a href="https://apnews.com/article/hurricane-milton-tampa-florida-5f6a112986eb6e21720f0f17c504afe8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">150 tornados</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Melania and I are praying for you as you face the aftermath of Hurricane Milton,&#8221; Trump said in the video message. &#8220;We are deeply saddened by the devastation being reported.&#8221;</p>
<p>As of Thursday afternoon, Milton has already claimed four lives, and 3.4 million customers in the state remain without power.</p>
<p>&#8220;We want God to be with you,&#8221; the former president said. &#8220;We know God is with you. Our hearts go out to each and every one of you. To those who&#8217;ve lost so much, know that you are not alone. We&#8217;ve seen you stand tall against storms before, and you will stand tall now.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump also said he&#8217;ll &#8220;hopefully&#8221; take the White House in November and work to rebuild Florida &#8220;stronger, bigger, better than ever before.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;Please keep your faith, hold strong, and look out for one another,&#8221; the Republican candidate reiterated. &#8220;The sun will shine again over the beautiful Florida that we love so much.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump closed the video by praising Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. &#8220;Your governor has been doing an excellent job,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been talking to him and watching &#8212; Ron is doing a really good job, we&#8217;re proud of him.&#8221;</p>

<p>DeSantis has also been praised by President Joe Biden for his hurricane preparation. Notably, Biden&#8217;s remarks about DeSantis undermine Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217; narrative that DeSantis was being &#8220;selfish&#8221; and ignoring her calls.</p>
<p>The governor has publicly criticized Harris for politicizing the hurricane and made note that the Democrat nominee has never called him for any other hurricane prep.</p>
