Seven days until the most important election in our lifetime. Look, on a very serious note, that’s why we’re all here. (Applause.) If we do that, Florida is not going to be only a better place, so will America be. We need to elect Democrats up and down the ballot, including your outstanding members of Congress, Debbie and Frederica and Sheila. Oh, man, you got a hell of a delegation.Īnd, folks, we need to elect Charlie and Val. (Applause.) They haven’t seen nothing yet. And when it comes to public safety, she knows what it takes.įolks, imagine Chief Demings on the beat in the United States Senate. She literally put her life on the line to serve and protect the people of this state. She does what she says.Īnd, folks, she’s fighting for seniors to protect their Social Security and Medicare. (Applause.)įolks, whether it’s building an economy that works for everyone or keeping communities safe and protections and right to choose, Va- Chief Val Demings, she’s the real deal - (applause) - defined by one word: commitment. It was gre- he was a great governor before, and he’d make an even greater governor again because of who he’s going to be replacing. He’s always, always working for you, fighting for working families like yours. (Applause.) I know them both really well.Ĭharlie - Charlie is a guy you know and trust. (Applause.) And great to be with the next U.S. We’re not going home.įolks, it’s great to be with the next governor of Florida, Charlie Crist. And like I said, this is just the beginning of our effort. Small Business Administration has approved another $460 million dollars for low-interest loans to businessowners, renters, and homeowners. And FEMA has performed over 180,000 home inspections. (Applause.) We’ve set up 23 Disaster Recovery Centers where survivors can register for help. So far, $1.7 billion in assistance has gone to this state. (Applause.) My administration has been following through on those commitments to get the people of Florida what they need as fast as we can and to help you rebuild. And I said then that it’s going to take not weeks and months but years to fully recover and rebuild.īut I gave the people of Florida my commitment to - this country’s commitment that you will not go through this alone.

The damage and destruction was historic and horrific. We surveyed the damage on the ground in Fort Myers and the surrounding community areas by helicopter. Last time in Florida - I was in Florida was almost a month ago, just after Hurricane Ian hit. I’m telling you, you can make the difference. Well, let me tell you: One of the great ways to honor HBCUs’ legacy is to vote, vote, vote. (Applause.) Talking about my historic commitment to HBCUs that included $5.8 billion in investment at HBCUs. (Laughs.) (Applause.) Anyway, look, you know, talking to students about my administration’s plan to provide student loan relief for working- and middle-class folks. (Applause.) Okay - it’s pretty good, man. (Applause.) I got my start at one of those other HBCUs - Delaware State University.

It’s great to be in Florida Memorial University, one of the nation’s great HBCUs. Look, Macarena, thanks for that introduction. No way to stand, huh? Well, God love you. Well, as my mother would say, “God love you all.” (Applause.) You got caught in the front pew. THE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you, thank you, thank you. Well, hello, Florida! (Applause.)ĪUDIENCE: Let’s go, Joe! Let’s go, Joe! Let’s go, Joe! THE PRESIDENT: Hello, Florida! Hello, hello, hello.
