REMINDER: Biden Still Hasn’t Visited GOP-Voting Ohio Town Ravaged by Toxic Spill

What happened: President Joe Biden finally visited the fire-ravaged Hawaiian island of Maui this week, where he attempted to console traumatized residents by comparing their plight to the time lightning struck his house and started a small fire in his kitchen.

Biden, 80, enjoyed two family vacations-at the beach in Delaware and a billionaire's mansion in Lake Tahoe-before finding time in his schedule to visit Maui, where wildfires killed at least a hundred people earlier this month.

Biden still hasn't visited East Palestine, Ohio.

Almost six months have passed since Biden insisted he would visit East Palestine "At some point."

Biden sent officials from the Environmental Protection Agency to help alleviate the damage caused by the spill.

Crucial context: Maui is located in a congressional district that voted for Biden by a margin of 30 percentage points in the 2020 election.

East Palestine resides in a congressional district that voted for Trump in 2020 by a margin of nearly 50 percentage points.
