Team Biden’s war on DeSantis is all about kneecapping a successful GOP governor

The number of migrants crossing our southern border continues to break records, crime is surging and the COVID vaccination effort has stalled. So naturally, the White House spent the past week picking fights with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
President Biden said of DeSantis’ refusal to implement vaccine passports, “I say to these governors: Please help, but [if] you aren’t going to help, at least get out of the way.”
The number of COVID cases in Florida has risen lately, that’s true. But suddenly that’s the fault of a governor? A year ago, when Joe Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee, the spike in COVID cases was entirely the fault of then-President Donald Trump.
When the Northeast suffered a second COVID wave in the winter of 2020-2021, the buck stopped with the president — not Gov. Cuomo (D), or New Jersey’s Gov. Phil Murphy (D) or Pennsylvania’s Gov. Tom Wolf (D).
That New York and New Jersey had the highest COVID death rates in the country, the Democratic line went, wasn’t the fault of their respective governors — it was the president’s alone.
