President Joe Biden was in California on Thursday touring the damage after those recent devastating storms.
Accompanied by FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and other state and local officials, Biden met with first responders and delivered remarks on supporting the state’s recovery. Biden made clear the connection between climate change and recent weather events in California, as he pledged the full resources of the federal government and said it was important to “rebuild better.”
Biden added, “[I]f anybody doubts climate is changing, then they must have been asleep for the last couple of years.” We know some of the destruction is going to take years to full recover and rebuild. But we got to rebuild not just rebuild. We got to rebuild better.
While touring storm-damaged parts of California, and for only the third time since the news broke, President Biden remarked publicly on the situation of the documents.
At first, he bristled at reporters who shouted questions about the documents, saying: “You know what, quite frankly, bugs me is that we have serious problems here we’re talking about…” but then went on to say, “I have no regrets,” about the way the situation has been handled by his administration so far.
“I’m following what the lawyers have told me they want me to do. It’s exactly what we’re doing. There’s no ‘there’ there,” he continued.
