President Joe Biden made brief remarks about the wildfires raging in Los Angeles after meeting with firefighting officials. He announced he had become a great-grandfather and pledged federal support to the state. Thousands have been evacuated due to the fires, which have consumed over 22 square miles.
President Joe Biden made some brief and off-topic remarks after meeting with firefighting officials about the fierce wildfires raging in the Los Angeles area. 'We're prepared to do anything and everything as long as it takes to contain these fires and help reconstruct, make sure that we can get back to normal,' Biden, who was there to sign a disaster declaration alongside Gov. Gavin News om, said. 'It's gonna be a hell of a long way. It's gonna take time.
It’s impossible for me to express the level of appreciation,' he said. Biden then took the meeting in an unexpected direction, announcing that he had become a great-grandfather and celebrating the birth of his eldest granddaughter's first child.'The good news is I'm a great-grandfather as of today,' Biden said before declining questions from reporters.
At least two people have died and more than 30,000 are evacuated as a result of the fires that have consumed a total of about 22 square miles. President-elect Donald Trump used a derisive nickname for Newsom and renewed old criticisms against the governor for resisting a plan to send more water to the state’s agricultural Central Valley because of concerns it would imperil endangered species in a Truth Social on Wednesday.
