Biden and Crist, the Democrat seeking to oust Florida Governor Ron DeSanis, will headline a private fundraiser on November 1, the Miami Herald reported.

News of Biden’s fundraising visit for DeSantis’ rival comes the week after the governor and president were praised for putting partisan politics aside to provide relief to Floridians following Hurricane Ian.

Crist’s campaign told the newspaper fundraising “took a dip due to Hurricane Ian.”

“President Biden understands what is on the ballot this November,” Crist, who served as Florida’s governor from 2007 to 2011, said in a statement.

“Whether it’s protecting a woman’s freedom to make decisions about her own body or helping our state rebuild and prepare for the next storm, the stakes could not be higher for Florida and we are grateful for his support.”

He added on Twitter on Sunday: “In 23 days, we are going to make Ron DeSantis a one-term Governor and a zero-term President.”

Newsweek has contacted Crist and DeSantis’ campaigns, and the White House, for comment.

The event comes ahead of a closely watched race that DeSantis, who has been widely touted as a 2024 GOP presidential candidate, is “clearly” favored to win, according to FiveThirtyEight.

Based on numerous polls, DeSantis has a 94 in 100 chance of winning the race, the polling aggregator’s forecast said on October 16.

The event will be Biden’s third visit to Florida since taking office, but his first to stump for Democrats.

He traveled along with First Lady Jill Biden to Fort Meyers on October 5 in order to survey damage caused by Hurricane Ian.

Although the president and Florida governor were recently embroiled in a feud over migration at the southern border, Biden praised DeSantis’ response to the hurricane.

“What the governor’s done is pretty remarkable,” Biden said during his last visit.

“I think he’s done a good job… Look, I called him, I think, even before he called me, when I heard this storm was on its way.”

Acknowledging that he and DeSantis have “very different political philosophies,” Biden said they had “worked hand-in-glove.”

“He’s been on—on things relating to dealing with this crisis, we’ve been completely in lockstep. There’s been no differences.”

The announcement that Biden will return to Florida to help boost Crist’s campaign comes as a recent poll found that most Floridians continue to disapprove of the job Biden is doing as president.

The Mason-Dixon poll found that 54 percent of those surveyed are unhappy with Biden’s performance, while 42 percent approve of the job he’s doing. The survey was conducted September 26 - 28.
