“You’re not alone”: President Biden was in Mississippi on Friday to survey the damage following a deadly tornado outbreak. The president said his administration will work with local officials to build everything back better than it was before.
even as a new series of severe storms threatens to rip across the Midwest and the South.
In a statement after the tornado, the president pledged that the federal government would"do everything we can to help." Last week's severe weather makes life even more difficult in an area already struggling economically. Mississippi is one of the poorest states, and the majority-Black Delta has long been one of the poorest parts of the state — a place where many people live paycheck to paycheck, often in jobs connected to agriculture.
Mr. Biden has spoken in separate phone calls with Reeves, Sen. Roger Wicker, Hyde-Smith and Thompson.
