This time, Joe Biden let down the American public by not visiting the town of East Palestine following the train wreck in Ohio. During a visit to Florida after Hurricane Idalia hit the state, the president was questioned why he had not yet made the trip to the region. In March, he promised to visit the area.
When asked why he had not yet visited the area, Biden said that he had not yet had the opportunity to go there. The town is dealing with a huge amount of toxic chemicals in its waterways and soil.
In addition, Biden noted that he had been busy with other matters, such as his upcoming trip to Vietnam and India. While he was gallivanting around other countries, the residents of East Palestine were still dealing with the effects of the devastating train wreck. It is clear that the president's priorities are not with the people of America.
Governor Mike DeWine of Ohio is urging Biden to issue a major disaster declaration for East Palestine so that the federal government can provide more resources and help the residents clean up the area. It's time for the president to act now to help the people of East Palestine.
The way the government handled the disaster has been condemned. The failure to prevent the chemicals from burning off led to a massive toxic cloud that was visible from space, and it is a clear example of how incompetent the administration is. Not only have people been put at risk, but the environment has also been severely affected by the mishandling of the situation.
It is time for Biden to take responsibility for his administration's failure to address the situation in East Palestine. The residents of the area have waited a long time, and they deserve better than this. It is yet another example of how disconnected he is with the concerns of Americans.
