President Joe Biden was asked about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a press conference on Hurricane Milton. Biden discussed the federal government’s response efforts, power restoration, emergency funding, and misinformation circulating.
When questioned about speaking with Trump, Biden laughed and urged him to “get a life” and help the people affected by the hurricane. He emphasized holding accountable those spreading false theories about the government response.
Biden, visibly agitated, left the room, refusing to engage with Trump. He has been actively involved in addressing the impact of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, countering false claims and ensuring accurate information reaches the public.
During a previous update, Biden denounced the false assertions made by Trump and others, clarifying that assistance is available for affected individuals and that resources are not being diverted. He emphasized the importance of truth and holding accountable those spreading misinformation.
