Trump threatened to stop funding to Michigan after the state revealed a plan to send out absentee ballot applications.
The plant has been making ventilators as part of the response to the coronavirus pandemic. More than 5,000 people in Michigan have died from the virus.
Biden said he sympathized with the families impacted by the failures of the Edenville and Sanford dams and credited Whitmer – who Biden has acknowledged is on his list of possible vice presidential running mates — with declaring a state of emergency and deploying the National Guard. Trump has said he has talked to Whitmer and is sending federal resources to Midland County to help with the flooding response. He also expressed sympathy with those affected on Wednesday.
Biden said Trump and Republicans, however, have failed so far to provide enough help to states and workers beyond the initial rounds of aid passed by Congress.
