Biden to visit Florida to survey damage wreaked by Hurricane Milton
WASHINGTON (AA) – President Joe Biden will travel to Florida on Sunday to visit areas impacted by Hurricane Milton, the White House said.
No additional details were shared by the White House.
“To the people of Florida: I know recovery and rebuilding periods can be long and difficult. And that long after the press and cameras move on, you have to pick up the pieces. But I want you to know I will do everything in my power to help you put the pieces back together,” Biden said on X.
Biden and Vice President Harris had previously said they would visit storm-ravaged areas, but only after they could be sure they would not divert valuable resources from relief efforts.
At least 17 people were killed and millions were left without power after numerous tornadoes were spawned as Milton approached the state Wednesday evening.
Making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane, Milton unleashed historic rainfall across parts of the Tampa Bay area of the Gulf coast, marking it as a perhaps one-in-1,000-year event.
