As Joe Biden signed a major emergency disaster declaration for Texas,
he explained he would make a decision on whether to visit the state
next week. On Friday, Biden said he spoke with Gov. Greg Abbott
(R-Texas) and they discussed what exactly the state needed to address
the weather and utility crisis.
He added he would ask FEMA to speed up the paperwork so he could sign
it as soon as possible, but Biden hedged on whether he would visit
Texas to assess the situation first hand.
“It depends. The answer is yes. The question is, I had planned on
being in Texas the middle of next week, but what I don’t want to be is a
burden,” Biden stated.
“When the president lands in any city in America, it creates, it has a
long tail, and they’re working like the devil to take care of their
folks. If, in fact, it’s concluded that I can do it without creating a
burden for the folks on the ground while they’re dealing with this
crisis, I plan on going.”
His unclear response drew criticism, with some pointing to trips President Trump took to states hit hard by natural disasters.
