Joe can’t ignore the growing chorus any longer —he’s going to Maui.
According to a report from The Daily Caller, President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden will visit Maui on August 21st, according to a statement from the White House.
“The President and First Lady will travel to Maui on Monday, August 21 to meet with first responders, survivors, as well as federal, state, and local officials, in the wake of deadly wildfires on the island,” a statement from White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre read.
“In Maui, the President and First Lady will be welcomed by state and local leaders to see firsthand the impacts of the wildfires and the devastating loss of life and land that has occurred on the island, as well as discuss the next steps in the recovery effort. The President continues to marshal a whole-of-government response to the deadly Maui fires, and he has committed to delivering everything that the people of Hawaii need from the federal government as they recover from this disaster,” she added.
Biden was blasted earlier this week for saying he had “no comment” on the wildfires as thousands of Hawaiians fled for their lives.
