YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Joe Biden said recovery efforts would cost “billions of dollars” and called on lawmakers to ensure additional funding as he toured areas devastated by Hurricane Helene on Thursday.
“Congress has an obligation, it seems to me, to ensure states have the resources they need,” Biden said Thursday at a pecan farm in Georgia, adding that aid “can’t wait. People need help now.”
It was the president’s second consecutive day in a tour of the region, where several states have been hard-hit by flooding and power outages, causing more than 160 deaths and leaving hundreds missing. He earlier had toured the Keaton Beach neighborhood in northwest Florida, where homes and businesses had been punished by the rains and wind.
