Biden To Deliver Remarks In Ohio Shortly

US

President Biden is shortly due to deliver remarks from the site of a Feb 3, 2023 train derailment which caused a major environment disaster in East Palestine, Ohio. LIVESTREAM

  • Biden's slow response to the crisis was widely seen as contributing to a boost in former President Donald Trump's approval when Trump visited the site three weeks after the incident to highlight the admininstration's response.
  • Trump wrote this week: “Biden should have gone there a long time ago. For him to go now is an insult to those who live and work in East Palestine.”

In a sign of how politically fraught the situation has become, Trump supporters planned a rally to coincide with Mr. Biden’s visit."
