Gov. Ron DeSantis announces the completion of the old Tamiami Trail roadbed removal in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2021. The historic roadbed acted as a dam and prevented sheet flow of water from the central Everglades into Everglades National Park. At a press conference, he also discussed COVID-19.

Gov. Ron DeSantis lashed out at President Joe Biden a day after Biden told the Republican governorto “get out of the way”of mask mandates.

During a stop in Panama City on Wednesday, DeSantis accused Biden of “helping facilitate” COVID-19 by not securing the border with Mexico. He said immigrants crossing the border are spreading variants of the virus.
