RELATED: What appears to be an overheated wheel bearing seen moments before East Palestine train derailment, NTSB says Buttigieg has been a target of ire from conservatives, who criticized him and President Biden for not showing up to East Palestine sooner. That meeting comes a day after residents got to share their concerns directly with the CEO of Norfolk Southern during a town hall hosted by CNN.
