Emerging from weeks of coronavirus isolation, President Joe Biden stepped into a role he has long emphasized in his political career: that of a consoler who can bring comfort to people and families weighed down by the pain of grief and destruction.
The president has made his family's history of grief and loss central to his own political story since the death of his first wife and young daughter in a car crash and the later death of his son Beau. “I promise you, we're not leaving,” Biden said. “If it is legal, we'll do it. If it’s not legal, we will figure out how to change the law.”Biden has announced federal disaster relief to Kentucky to cover the cleanup and emergency relief in the wake of the disaster.
“The floods in Kentucky and extreme weather all around the country are yet another reminder of the intensifying and accelerating impacts of climate change and the urgent need to invest in making our communities more resilient to it,” she said while briefing reporters on Air Force One.
