President Biden claimed he hasn’t “been able to break” since promising he’d visit the site of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio months ago – despite recently taking a roughly eight-day vacation in Nevada.
Biden was asked why he hasn’t yet fulfilled his March commitment to visit the Ohio village at a press conference Saturday in Live Oak, Florida, during his short trip to view Hurricane Idalia’s wreckage.
“I haven’t had the occasion to go to East Palestine,” Biden told reporters. “There’s a lot going on here, and I just haven’t been able to break.”
