The US was hit by another natural calamity in the form of Hurricane Ida, has hit out at the Gulf coast last week. In a final hit to the country affecting two states on the East Coast, US President Joe Biden will be traveling to New York and New Jersey this week.
Biden will be traveling to New York and New Jersey this week to take a look at the damage brought by Hurricane Ida to the states over the weekend. The storm resulted in 47 deaths and severe flooding in the homes and even the New York Subway. Biden will be heading to Queens, New York, and Manville, New Jersey on Tuesday.
Last week, Biden traveled to Louisiana, one of the states hit by the hurricane to look at the damage brought by the storm. Biden also called for Americans to come together in the midst of the crisis that has affected so many Americans as the world goes through more and more calamities that are a result of climate change.
The US leader also promoted the upcoming infrastructure plans that have yet to be approved by Congress, having passed the Senate and now onto the House for a vote. The plans would make investments towards upgrades in the crumbling infrastructures of states.
Biden is still enduring harsh criticism from the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan that also oversaw evacuations of over 100,000 Afghans, American citizens, and other allies who are looking to flee from the Taliban as the insurgent group has taken control of the war-torn country. While some criticism at Biden was warranted, The List reports that others had gone too far in their goal to rip into the US leader, which recently happened in a piece published on the New York Times over the weekend.
The piece criticized Biden’s attempts to empathize with the families of the 13 US soldiers who were killed from a suicide bombing in Kabul airport by reminding them that he has also experienced the loss of a child. Biden’s first wife and daughter were killed in a car accident in 1972 and in 2015, his son and Iraq veteran Beau Biden died of brain cancer.
The title of the piece drew massive backlash; “Biden, Still Grieving His Son, Finds that Not Everybody Wants to Hear About It” including from the contributing editor of The Atlantic, Norman Ornstein. “This is a failure of reporting, a failure of editing, and to put it on the front page is a deep failure of journalism,” tweeted Ornstein.
