President Biden To Survey Hurricane Helene Damage In Asheville

Joe Biden looks focused.

President Joe Biden is scheduled to conduct an aerial survey over Asheville, North Carolina, on Wednesday to assess the extensive damage caused by Hurricane Helene. The city has been severely impacted, with access roads narrowed due to the destruction, making it impossible for the president's motorcade to reach the area.

Mayor Esther Manheimer highlighted the challenges faced by the city, stating that only one of the four highways into Asheville is currently open, near the airport, and cannot be closed for a motorcade. By flying over the city, President Biden will be able to witness firsthand the magnitude of the devastation.
