The president is touring areas damaged.. President Joe Biden on Sunday toured areas of Florida ravaged by the back-to-back hurricanes and announced federal funding for projects to strengthen the electrical grid and a “whole government” effort to help the state recover.
We’ve been in frequent contact, and it’s in moments like this, we come together to take care of each other — not as Democrats or Republicans, but as Americans. Americans, who need help, and Americans who help you, if you were in the same situation,” Biden said in St. Petersburg. “We are one, United States.”
