MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — During a tour of the storm-ravaged Central Coast, President Joe Biden vowed that federal assistance to rebuild California would not end until the job is complete.
Biden visited the state Thursday and joined Gov. Gavin Newsom and U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla in a helicopter to survey areas battered by winter storms that caused major flooding and landslides across the state.
The president walked along a broken boardwalk in Capitola and spoke with business owners about the estimated $1 billion in damage from the string of storms that started on Dec. 26 and led to at least 22 deaths.
