Biden's press secretary: 'The President will go to East Palestine'

Just a few days after saying he hadn't had the occasion to go to East Palestine, President Biden's press secretary says he will travel to the area impacted by Norfolk Southern's toxic train derailment.

During a press briefing on Tuesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked: "The President said over the long weekend that he hasn't had the occasion to go to East Palestine. "I just haven't been able to break." The derailment was on February 3rd. President Biden has not had a break since February 3rd?"

Jean-Pierre responded, saying "The President will go to East Palestine. He promised that he would, and he will."

She went on to reiterate that President Biden is going to East Palestine, saying he is committed to making the trip.

**** that’s a very red county. If Biden went too early, he would have been criticized, and now he’s being criticized for waiting too long. You can’t win.

Will J.D. Hillbilly show up to meet him or will he do a DeSantis? What about Useless Bill Johnson?

Air Force One may land at the military facility adjacent to Pittsburgh International Airport. From there, Marine One may ferry President Biden to and from East Palestine. I do not care for these types of visits to locations which are relatively remote.
