The criticism didn’t stop there. Vice President Harris also called out Governor DeSantis for not taking her call while Floridians were facing the brunt of the storm. This prompted another strong response from Devon Mostert, who shared a clip of Harris and voiced her disgust. “She’s garbage. Textbook trash. No one has time, Kamala—especially not for her to say some bulls**t like, ‘we can be unburdened, by what has been,’” Mostert posted, reflecting a deep frustration with the vice president’s rhetoric.
One follower on X, formerly known as Twitter, claimed that Mostert also expressed her support for former President Donald Trump in another post. While the post has since expired or been removed, the message was clear: Devon Mostert isn’t holding back when it comes to calling out what she views as political opportunism during a crisis.
Devon Mostert wasn’t the only NFL wife to take a stand against the Biden-Harris administration. Annah Tagovailoa, the wife of Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, also voiced her disapproval by reposting content from conservative influencer Benny Johnson. The post included a video of former President Trump offering rooms at his Trump Doral Miami resort to first responders dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which had hit earlier, and preparing for Milton’s arrival. Tagovailoa’s repost signaled her agreement with the sentiment that Trump’s response to disaster relief had been more robust than the current administration’s efforts.
As criticism mounted, both President Biden and Vice President Harris scrambled to refocus their efforts on addressing the needs of the southern states ravaged by back-to-back hurricanes. FEMA, in particular, came under fire for what some perceived as a lack of visible support on the ground. FEMA administrator Deanne Criswell was quick to defend the agency, stating in an interview with CNN, “Just because you don’t see somebody on the ground in a FEMA shirt doesn’t mean that we don’t have people there. We have people that are embedded in the state emergency operations center [EOC]. I have teams that are walking around neighborhoods. I have teams that are embedded with all of the county EOCs.”
Despite these reassurances, Biden and Harris have faced ongoing backlash from critics like former President Trump and media personalities such as Glenn Beck. Many have accused Harris of providing weak support for hurricane victims, while others claim that she has interfered with grassroots rescue efforts.

The arrival of Hurricane Milton presented a new challenge for Vice President Harris, who had to cut her campaign tour of California short to respond to the disaster. However, her quick pivot to hurricane relief efforts has not silenced her critics. Instead, it has intensified accusations that the administration is more focused on political posturing than on providing real solutions to the disaster-stricken regions of Florida.
With tensions high and recovery efforts ongoing, the debate over the federal government’s role in disaster relief shows no signs of slowing down. As more voices like Devon Mostert and Annah Tagovailoa continue to speak out, the Biden-Harris administration will likely face increased scrutiny over its handling of Hurricane Milton and other recent storms.
The fallout from this natural disaster has proven to be more than just a test of emergency response. It has become a flashpoint in the political battles shaping the 2024 election cycle. Whether or not the administration can quell the rising tide of discontent remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: critics like Devon Mostert aren’t going to stay silent.
