DeSantis to meet with 9/11 families in NYC on 22nd anniversary

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will meet with families of 9/11 victims in New York City to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of the terror attacks Monday, The Post has learned.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will meet with families of 9/11 victims in New York City to commemorate the 22nd anniversary of the terror attacks Monday, The Post has learned.

Seven families invited the Republican governor and first lady Casey DeSantis to meet with them at the site of the attacks to mark this year’s anniversary, a DeSantis spokesperson said.

The details of their Manhattan itinerary next week have not yet been released.

President Joe Biden will observe the date in Alaska with first responders and their families, according to reports.

DeSantis first huddled with the 9/11 families at a Memorial Day barbecue at the governor’s mansion in Tallahassee after they had rebuked former President Donald Trump for hosting a Saudi-backed golf tourney that same weekend.

“It was just so remarkable and gracious that that governor of Florida invited us into his home,” Brett Eagleson, 37, told The Post at the time.

Eagleson was 15 years old when his father perished while working in the South Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

He has denounced Trump’s links to the Saudi-bankrolled LIV golf enterprise and has thrown his support behind DeSantis.

Casey DeSantis also invited several family members to the first Republican debate last month.

The governor has repeatedly stated on the campaign trail that he joined the military because of the 9/11 attacks and routinely recounts his time serving in Iraq.

DeSantis is trying to steady his foothold in the GOP primary race, fending off former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy as Trump continues to lead the pack.

A recent poll showed Haley pulling even at 10% with DeSantis in the key state of New Hampshire.

Trump continued to outpace his opposition, registering 47% support in New Hampshire, according to the poll from NMB Research.
