During a Hurricane Idalia press conference Saturday in Live Oak, Florida, President Biden told reporters that he hasn't 'had the occasion' to visit East Palestine, Ohio, where residents are still struggling in the wake of a February train derailment there that caused an environmental disaster.
Biden was speaking about the federal government's efforts to provide assistance to impacted residents when he was asked about the small Ohio town.
U.S. President Joe Biden walks to board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, Saturday, for a scheduled visit to survey hurricane damage in Florida. "And so it's going to be a while. But we're making sure that East Palestine has what they need materially in order to deal with their problems," he concluded.
"One hundred and sixty-six days ago, Joe Biden promised he would visit East Palestine. He has failed to keep that promise," Senator J.D. Vance said in a previous statement."Not only has Joe Biden refused to visit East Palestine, but he has also refused to grant critical assistance to the recovery effort."
