The White House is contemplating the possibility of canceling or rescheduling President Joe Biden's upcoming trip to Germany and Angola as Hurricane Milton approaches Florida. The decision comes as the administration is mindful of the optics of the president potentially being absent during a second catastrophic storm.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized that President Biden is closely monitoring the situation and receiving updates on the hurricane's developments. While there is no official announcement regarding a change in travel plans, the administration is urging residents to heed local officials' advice and prepare for the storm.
