He heaped praise on the response from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the state\u2019s Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the most part, we\u2019ve seen a lot of responsible actors on both sides of the aisle,\u201d Buttigieg said, and said he has been communicating with Republican legislators in recent days, including Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would never know from the conversations we\u2019re having which one was a Republican and which one was a Democrat,\u201d Buttigieg said.  \u201cRight now you have a lot of people pulling together, working to get the job done for people, regardless of how you voted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also get a lot of misinformation, don\u2019t we,\u201d Cavuto told the transportation secretary. \u201cWe have people who say in North Carolina\u2014if you\u2019re a Republican, you\u2019re not going to get help. If you\u2019re a Democrat, you\u2019re going to get help. I would imagine that does a huge disservice to people working together and scares the bejesus out of others when they believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buttigieg agreed, and cited the false claim that the $750 grants given to survivors of Helene were conditional or a hard limit to aid. This claim was widely debunked, including by <a class=\"LinkWrapper LinkWrapper--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fema.gov\/node\/fema-will-only-provide-770-disaster-survivors-support-their-recovery\">FEMA<\/a> themselves.<\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:180px\">\n<figure class=\"PictureWrapper Ag9VL InlineImage InlineImage--with-caption InlineImage--with-credit\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 703px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.thedailybeast.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_3264,w_4896,x_0,y_0\/dpr_1.5\/c_limit,w_655\/fl_lossy,q_auto\/milton_2_zvoxex\"\/><source media=\"(max-width: 1031px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.thedailybeast.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_3264,w_4896,x_0,y_0\/dpr_1.5\/c_limit,w_770\/fl_lossy,q_auto\/milton_2_zvoxex\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 1032px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.thedailybeast.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_3264,w_4896,x_0,y_0\/dpr_1.5\/c_limit,w_690\/fl_lossy,q_auto\/milton_2_zvoxex\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Fort Myers\" loading=\"lazy\" height=\"3264\" width=\"4896\" src=\"https:\/\/img.thedailybeast.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,d_placeholder_euli9k,h_3264,w_4896,x_0,y_0\/dpr_1.5\/c_limit,w_690\/fl_lossy,q_auto\/milton_2_zvoxex\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"Caption\">\n<div class=\"Caption__title-and-caption\"><figcaption class=\"Caption__caption\">\n<div class=\"Mobiledoc\">\n<p>Wind gusts pull down utility polls in Fort Myers, Florida as Hurricane Milton approaches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<p><svg class=\"Caption__camera-icon\" style=\"height:13px;width:13px\"><use xlink:href=\"#camera\"\/><\/svg><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"Caption__credit-text\">Ricardo Arduengo\/Reuters<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n<p>\u201cDonald Trump said that about North Carolina\u2014Republicans not getting help, but Democrats getting help.
