Bloomberg Quicktake | Hurricane Milton: Tampa Mayor Urges 'Don't Get Political on This' @BloombergQuicktake | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
President Joe #Biden said he is postponing a planned trip to #Germany and #Angola to focus on the response to #Hurricane #Milton which is approaching #Florida “This could be the worst storm to hit Florida in over a century,” Biden said Tuesday at the White House. Asked about the threat of #misinformation over the response to the storm, Biden said “those who do it do it to try to damage the administration,” and he called it “un-American.”
