Biden Responds to Hurricane Milton Disinformation as Florida Braces for Impact
In a series of live remarks, President Biden and Vice President Harris are addressing the imminent threat of Hurricane Milton, which is heading toward Florida. As the storm approaches, they are emphasizing the need to combat misinformation regarding hurricane relief efforts. Biden has openly accused former President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene of spreading 'outright lies' and misinformation about the federal response to hurricanes, branding their claims as 'beyond ridiculous' and 'an onslaught of lies.' The administration is working to ensure accurate information reaches those affected, assuring Floridians that 'your nation has your back.' Furthermore, Biden has canceled international trips to prioritize the storm response, while urging Congress to act effectively in light of the disaster preparation efforts underway. The administration continues to provide updates and resources to support those in the storm's path.
