President Biden (D) announcing a change in the federal Pandemic plan, or lack there of, has left Americans shocked after the president promised to end the public health crisis. Today, Lt. Governor Jeanette Nuñez (R-FL) sounded off on Biden for, "waving the white flag," on COVID-19
Florida has been the center of pandemic politics, not only for the state's unorthodox approach to COVID-19 solutions, but also for the recent shortage of monoclonal treatment that used to flood the state.
Lt. Governor Nuñez appeared on Fox News recently to calm the nerves of those who have concerns over the recent shortage, blaming the federal government for the developing crisis, "All of a sudden, over night, Biden decides to seize control, he's commandeered all the supplies, he refuses to release our supplies that we desperately need here in Florida."
Florida has led the way throughout this entire pandemic.

Nuñez adds that, "And so what you've seen is a disaster every step of the way for Biden, for Fauci, and for all of those who are trying to maintain a federal approach, to which there is none. I think that Biden admitting there is no federal solution for COVID, is basically him waiving the white flag."
This is not the Lieutenant Governor's first run in with national Democrats. Late last year, Nuñez was one of the first American politicians to call out US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) for wearing a more than expensive dress at the Met Gala that read, "Tax The Rich."
Recently, Florida Democrats have attempted to make the shortage of monoclonal treatment a failure of the DeSantis Administration. However, key players such as DeSantis' Press Secretary Christina Pushaw (R-FL) have made the panic about Biden's inaction on the federal level.
