Biden to travel to New Jersey and New York, survey Ida damage
President Biden plans to travel to New Jersey and New York on Tuesday to survey the damage from Hurricane Ida.
The president will visit Manville, N.J. and Queens, N.Y. to view the destruction caused by the hurricane that barreled through the Northeast on Wednesday night.
Biden talked to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) on Thursday. Both governors issued states of emergency due to the heavy rain, which caused major flooding that practically halted the New York City subway system and interrupted flight activity at Newark Liberty International Airport.
The hurricane killed at least 12 people in Louisiana, according to reports, and dozens more died in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
