Bloomberg Quicktake published this video item, entitled “Biden Says He Plans to Visit Hawaii to See Damage From Maui Wildfires” – below is their description.
President Joe Biden said he intends to travel to Hawaii with first lady Jill Biden as soon as possible amid mounting pressure to see firsthand the devastation from wildfires in Maui.
“My wife Jill and I are going to travel to Hawaii as soon as we can,” Biden said Tuesday in Milwaukee ahead of a speech on his economic agenda.
The president said he had spoken to Governor Josh Green about the wildfires — the US’s deadliest in more than a century — and wanted to ensure a visit did not interrupt recovery efforts, with the death toll now at 99 and searches continuing for the missing.
“That’s what I’ve been talking to the governor about. I don’t want to get in the way,” Biden said. “I’ve been to too many disaster areas. But I want to go, make sure we got everything they need. Want to be sure we don’t disrupt the ongoing recovery efforts.”
